Loft Storage in Chingford Mount

Loft storage designed for your room
How we make loft storage for Chingford Mount
Loft rooms are often bedrooms, so storage for clothes matters. A wardrobe under the slope, knee-wall drawers and dormer shelves make a complete set. Designed as one, they give the room calm, consistent lines. For a home in Chingford Mount, it is planned around your things. Typical reasons to get in touch are standard furniture that won’t go up the loft stairs and unused space in a dormer; the furniture is made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
Landings in houses from between the wars are often roomier than in a Victorian terrace, which can hold fitted storage for linen and spare bedding. If yours is one of the interwar houses, semis or detached homes that make up much of the housing around Chingford Mount, it is worth looking up as well as down. If a boiler or cylinder sits there, it keeps its clearances and access.
If the job needs another trade, such as an electrician or a plumber, we’ll tell you. The quote itself covers our work, from the design to the materials and finish.

Bespoke loft storage or ready-made?
Loft walls are rarely straight, and floors are often out of level. Ready-made pieces show the gaps. We scribe our storage to the slopes and walls, and set it level. Ready-made units come in standard depths that rarely suit every space, so they can stick out too far or waste space behind. With fitted furniture, the depth is chosen for the room.
The finish affects the cost: spray painting is done in the workshop, while hand painting can be done on site. The written quote reflects your choice, along with the size and fittings.
Why choose us
- Made for your room, not a standard size
- Edges scribed to follow your walls
- 300+ projects completed
- Work across the whole of London

The problems loft storage solve
A boarded loft can be made far more useful with shelving. Shelves and cupboards keep things off the floor and easy to find. It suits seasonal things and boxes.
Some of the things we are asked to solve include:
- Seasonal things cluttering the loft room
- No wardrobe that fits under the slope
- Low eaves that nobody can use
- Needing storage in a loft office
For an older house near St Edmund's Church, a dormer in a converted loft can hold shelves or a small desk.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- Real projects you can actually look at
- Whether they measure the room themselves
- Will the doors close with even gaps?
- Will other trades be needed, and who arranges them?
FAQs: loft storage in Chingford Mount
Do you cover homes near Highams Park station?
Yes. We cover all of Waltham Forest and the rest of London. To get started, you can fill in our short enquiry form with some details about the room, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Is parking a problem for fitting in Chingford Mount?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. A van may need a visitor permit, a pay-and-display bay or a suspended bay, which the council arranges, often with notice. Let us know what parking is near you at the design visit.
Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?
There are two options: spray painting, done in the workshop for a smooth, even finish, or hand painting, which can be done on site. The finish is agreed in your quote.
What materials do you use for loft storage?
Our loft storage is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, then painted. Both are stable, which matters in a loft room. Your quote confirms the materials and finish.
Does eaves storage affect the insulation?
It shouldn’t, if it’s designed properly. We design eaves storage so it does not block ventilation or squash insulation. If you have concerns about what’s already behind the eaves, it’s worth asking whoever converted the loft.
What happens when you come to measure?
We measure the space and discuss the design, materials and finish. We also check the walls and floors and note radiators, sockets and other things in the way, then send a written quote.
What affects the cost of loft storage
What you pay depends on:
- What goes inside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers
- The width and height of the space
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
- Access to the room, such as stairs, lifts and narrow halls
The inside of the furniture affects the price as well: drawers take more making than shelves, and each rail, divider or pull-out adds to the work. We will talk through what you need inside at the measuring visit.
Before the design visit
Ahead of the design visit, we will typically ask about:
- The type of home and how the room is reached
- Pictures showing the full wall, from floor to ceiling
- Anything in the way, like radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Every quote follows a design visit. We measure the space, check the walls and floors and discuss what you’d like, and the written quote comes after. We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. To arrange a visit, tell us about the room on our contact form.

Fewer homes around Chingford Mount date from before 1919 than across Waltham Forest: about 8%, against about 45%, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. So the walls behind eaves cupboards here are more likely to be later brick, block or plasterboard, and they’re checked at the design visit.

Caring for painted furniture
A few practical points help before and after fitting day. These are worth keeping in mind:
- Check the route up to the loft
- Think about what will go in each cupboard or drawer
- Think about hanging space for a loft bedroom
- Note any vents or insulation in the eaves
A hand-painted finish is easy to touch up if it gets marked. Keep a note of the colour for later. Should you have a question about the storage, fill in our short enquiry form and we’ll help.
Don’t overfill drawers, as heavy loads strain the runners. It helps to clear out now and then. Keep the heaviest things near the floor.
Fitting day, step by step
Furniture made in a workshop still has to meet the room it’s going into, and that happens on fitting day. Walls in older homes are rarely flat or square, so each edge that meets a wall is scribed to follow it. How long the fitting itself takes depends on the length of the eaves and the design, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. On fitting day, the sections are carried in, assembled, scribed to the wall and levelled. Spray-painted pieces come finished from the workshop, while hand painting can happen on site. Saturday fitting is possible by prior arrangement.
