How we make loft storage for Coombe Hill
Loft stairs are often narrow and steep, with tight turns. We measure the route along with the room itself, so every section built in our workshop fits up the stairs. It’s a step that matters for any loft in Coombe Hill. Most enquiries start with boxes piled on loft boards and clothes with nowhere to go in a loft bedroom; the furniture is made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
In an area where interwar homes or semis make up much of the housing, as around Coombe Hill, many have had the loft converted, leaving low eaves and sloping ceilings. Those spaces, along with bays and hallways, are where fitted storage can add the most. For lofts, we work in spaces that are already converted or boarded.

Practical tips
Getting the most from loft storage starts with the planning and carries on after fitting day. These are worth keeping in mind:
- Clear the knee-wall spaces before the design visit if you can
- Note how narrow the loft stairs are
- Decide whether you’d prefer drawers, cupboards or both
- Make a list of what you want to store in the eaves
Once the fitting is done, the storage is ready to use. New paintwork takes time to cure fully, so go easy on it to begin with. Keep tape and strong cleaners away from it while it settles.
Don’t overfill drawers, as heavy loads strain the runners. It’s useful to clear out now and then. Keep the heaviest things near the floor.
Fitted storage in Coombe Hill
In the streets around Coombe Hill, the largest groups of homes date from between 1919 and 1939 (about 45%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 24%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. The National Heritage List records 5 entries within half a mile of the centre of Coombe Hill. Being near listed buildings doesn’t make a home listed, and you can check any address on Historic England’s list. TfL’s Ultra Low Emission Zone covers every part of London, Kingston upon Thames included. That includes the vans that bring and fit furniture in Coombe Hill. We plan parking and access with you during the design visit.
If your home is one of the older houses near St John the Baptist, eaves cupboards in a converted loft are scribed to slopes that are rarely even. For a family home near Robin Hood Primary School, a place for each person’s coat and shoes stops the hallway filling up.

What it’s made from
Pull-out drawers
Drawers in the knee wall let you use the deep, low space without crawling in. We size each drawer for what you plan to keep in it. They’re ideal for clothes and bedding.
Spray-painted finish
A spray-painted finish works well on every part of the storage. It is carried out in the workshop for an even coat. Any paint colour agreed with you can be used.
Why people ask for loft storage in Coombe Hill
A loft room used as an office or guest room often needs storage too. Storage in the eaves leaves the main floor clear.
Most of the enquiries we get are about needs like these:
- A converted loft with no fitted furniture
- Standard furniture that won’t go up the loft stairs
- Space under the eaves going to waste
- Boxes piled on loft boards
Pembroke Lodge, about 1.5 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. If your own home is a period one, eaves cupboards in a converted loft are scribed to slopes that are rarely even.
What to check before you book
- Have they measured the stairs, lift and doorways?
- Who does any electrics, plumbing or gas work
- Do they scribe the furniture to the walls?
- Whether they measure the room themselves
Questions from Coombe Hill
Can you make loft storage for a home in Coombe Hill?
Yes, Coombe Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Kingston upon Thames and the rest of London. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, and then we send a quote.
I live near Norbiton station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Kingston upon Thames and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can send us a few details through our contact form to arrange a design visit, and tell us about parking and access at the same time.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, we can arrange Saturdays. Just mention it when you contact us, and we’ll see what we can do.
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.
Do you carry out loft conversions?
No. We do not carry out loft conversions. We design and fit storage once the room is in place, including eaves cupboards, knee-wall drawers and wardrobes.
Does fitted furniture need planning permission?
Not normally. Inside a house, fitted furniture doesn’t normally need planning permission. If the building is listed, works affecting its character can require listed building consent, so ask the council’s conservation officer.
What happens on fitting day
The last stage of the day is the finish. If the furniture was spray painted in the workshop, we fill the fixing holes and touch up on site; hand painting, if that is what you chose, can be done in place once everything is fitted. Either way, the finish is the one set out in your quote. Loft stairs in an interwar house can be tight, with a low ceiling at the top, so pieces for a loft room are sized for the narrowest point. Elsewhere in the house, the route is normally more generous. Each section is assembled and fixed in the room.
- First you tell us about the loft room and what you’d like to store there.
- We visit to measure the eaves and slopes and discuss the design.
- You receive a written quote for the storage we have discussed, for you to look over.
- Your storage is built in our workshop and painted to your chosen colour.
- We fit it in your home, scribed to the slopes and the walls.
Before fitting day
- Leave a clear route from the front door to the room
- Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician ahead of time
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone
How to get a quote
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. Because every room is different, the quote comes after the design visit, once the room is measured and the design talked through. To arrange a visit, message us from the contact page.
