Ask about loft storage in Coney Hall
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Off-the-shelf cupboards come in fixed sizes, so there’s typically a gap left over at the top or at one end. Fitted furniture is made to the room’s measurements, so it can run to the ceiling and fill the width.
Bespoke work comes into its own in rooms that aren’t square. Older London rooms tend to have leaning walls, sloping floors and alcoves of different widths, which leaves standard units with gaps at the sides and top.
Loft storage in Coney Hall
A converted loft often has more storage space than it first seems. We design and make eaves cupboards, drawers in the knee walls, wardrobes under the slopes and shelves in dormers, all made for the shape of the room. In Coney Hall, as everywhere we work, it begins with a visit to measure and plan. We make eaves cupboards from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish, and the usual reasons to get in touch are an empty dormer that could hold shelves and a loft room that still feels unfinished.
An interwar house tends to have truer walls than a Victorian one, though rarely square corners. Around Coney Hall, interwar houses, semis and detached homes make up a big part of the housing, and every piece is still scribed where it meets the wall. Lids, doors and drawers are set level on site so they run true.
The furniture is made in our workshop after you have had the quote and decided to go ahead. The quote sets out the agreed design, materials and finish, so you can check every detail beforehand.

Is bespoke worth it?
Off-the-shelf pieces come in the maker’s finishes. We paint the storage in the colour you choose, so it can match the walls and the woodwork. If a house has been extended or knocked through, the new walls and the old ones may not line up, which shows up against standard furniture. Fitted pieces are scribed to both.
Parking is part of the price picture in London. Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones, so we may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay. Tell us about parking at the measuring visit, so we can plan for it.

Making use of awkward spaces in Coney Hall
In the neighbourhood around Coney Hall, the largest groups of homes date from between 1919 and 1939 (about 63%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 24%), according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). It is a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. Near the centre of Coney Hall, Historic England’s list includes The Swan Public House (Grade II), less than half a mile north-east, and The White Lodge (Grade II), about 0.5 miles north-west. Listing covers the inside of a building as well as the outside, so works that affect a listed home’s character, like removing original joinery, can need listed building consent. It’s worth speaking to the council’s conservation officer before the design is final. Parking controls in London are set borough by borough, so Bromley has its own. If your street in Coney Hall is in a controlled parking zone, a visitor’s permit, a paid parking bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed. It helps to tell us about parking at the measuring visit.
Close to Millers Pond? Eaves cupboards can be designed to hold outdoor kit, from walking boots to picnic things. The wider area includes historic houses like Addington Palace, about 1.2 miles south-west. If your own home is a period one, the knee walls of a converted loft can take drawers as well as cupboards. For families living near Forest Academy, a place for each person’s coat and shoes stops the hallway filling up.

Questions we are often asked
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Coney Hall?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. A van may need a visitor permit, a pay-and-display bay or a suspended bay, which the council arranges, often with notice. It helps to let us know about parking at the design visit, so we can plan the day around it.
Do you cover homes near West Wickham station?
Yes. We cover all of Bromley and the rest of London. You can fill in our short enquiry form to arrange a design visit.
What materials do you use for loft storage?
We use moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood. The carcasses and drawer boxes are birch plywood, which is strong and holds screws well, while the doors and panels are MDF, which paints well. The finish is spray-painted or hand-painted.
What finishes do you offer?
You can choose between two finishes: by spray or by hand. A spray finish is smooth and even, while a hand-painted one is easy to touch up later.
What happens when you come to measure?
We measure the space and discuss the design, materials and finish. We look at the walls, floors and anything the furniture has to work around, and the written quote comes afterwards.
Do I get to choose the colour?
The choice is yours, and we agree it with you before the furniture is finished. Spray and hand-painted finishes both use the colour you’ve chosen.
Practical tips
The finish lasts best with a little care, whether it was spray painted or hand painted. These practical tips help:
- Let us know about parking at the measuring visit
- Make a list of what you want to store in the eaves
- Bring paint colours you like to the design visit
- Plan where the tall end of a wardrobe can go
Before we leave, we check every door and drawer with you. Any access to the eaves is checked so it still opens. That way, everything works as planned.
Sharp edges and heavy boxes can chip a painted edge. Store tools in a box, not loose against the doors. Minor chips can be touched up with the matching colour.

What else we make in Coney Hall
From workshop to your room
Every fitting follows the same order: floors are protected, the sections come in, everything is levelled, scribed to the walls, fixed and finished. Then the room is tidied and we look over the work with you. The time the fitting takes depends on how much storage you want in the loft, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. It is useful to clear the room and the route before we arrive. Fitting day starts with protecting the floors and setting out the pieces. The pieces are levelled, fitted to the walls and fixed back.
- You let us know about your converted or boarded loft.
- At the design visit, the room and the route up are measured, as everything has to get up there.
- We agree the cupboards, drawers and wardrobes, and send a quote in writing.
- Every part is made in our workshop, ready for a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
- We carry it up, fit it and check every door and drawer with you.
Preparing the room
- Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician ahead of time
- Clear the area where the furniture is going
- Let us know where the boiler and meters are
How to get a quote
You do not need exact measurements to get started. Everything is measured properly when we visit, including how level the floor and ceiling are. To get started, tell us about the room on our contact form with some details about the room. The written quote follows the visit.
