What it’s made from
Spray-painted finish
Spraying gives a smooth, even surface. It is done in our workshop before fitting. You choose the colour.
Hand-painted finish
Hand painting can be done on site once the storage is in. It’s easy to touch up if it gets marked. That helps in a well-used bedroom.
Loft storage for homes in Foxbury
We make each eaves cupboard in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood. Birch plywood gives the carcasses and drawers their strength, while MDF takes paint well for the doors and panels. It is then spray-painted or hand-painted and fitted in your home in Foxbury. If your home has a converted loft with no fitted furniture and a boarded loft that’s hard to keep organised, that’s what eaves cupboards are for, made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
A good share of the homes around Foxbury were built between 1945 and the early 1970s. Homes from that era tend to have simpler shapes than older houses, with fewer recesses, so eaves cupboards often create the storage the house never had. The fixings are chosen for the wall, whether it is concrete, blockwork or brick.
If the job needs another trade, such as an electrician or a plumber, we will tell you, so it can be arranged before fitting day. Our quote covers the carpentry: the design, the materials and the finish.

Fitted storage in Foxbury
In the streets around Foxbury, the largest groups of homes date from between 1945 and 1972 (about 30%) and before 1919 (about 23%), on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. It is a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. Part of Foxbury is in the Chislehurst Conservation Area, one of the conservation areas recorded by Historic England. Being in a conservation area mainly affects changes to the outside of a building, and fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. Your council can advise if you are unsure. About 41% of households in the neighbourhood around Foxbury live in purpose-built flats, the 2021 Census shows. For a flat, eaves cupboards are made in sections sized for the stairs, the lift and the doors. Many blocks have rules on lift booking and working hours, so check with the managing agent before fitting day.
If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, such as Frogpool Manor Farm, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. If your own home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original features. If you live in a flat close to Sidcup station, the route in is measured not just the room, and the sections are sized to fit it. If you live in a period home close to Christ Church, eaves cupboards in a converted loft are scribed to slopes that are rarely even.

Questions from Foxbury
Do you cover homes near Sidcup station?
Yes, homes across Bromley and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can use our contact form with a few details about the room.
Is parking a problem for fitting in Foxbury?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. Depending on the street, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed, and suspensions often need notice. Let us know what parking is near you at the measuring visit, so the day can be planned around it.
Does someone need to be home during the fitting?
Someone needs to be there to let us in. After that, you do not need to stay in the room, but it is useful to be around at the end.
How do you get large pieces into a loft?
Measuring the route is part of the design visit. We size every section for the tightest turn, and then assembled in the loft.
What happens during the design visit?
We take full measurements, look at the walls and floors and work through the design together. Access and parking are worth talking about too, and afterwards we send a written quote.
Do you do the electrics?
No. Any new wiring, sockets or lights need an electrician. We plan the furniture around where they’ll go.
What affects the cost of loft storage
Each piece is designed for one room, so each price is too. What affects it comes down to:
- What goes inside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers
- Where a van can park, such as a permit bay or a bay suspension
- How square the room is
- Spray painting or hand painting
In London, parking can affect the price. The boroughs run controlled parking zones across much of the city, so a van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension near your home. Let us know about parking at the measuring visit, so we can plan for it.
Before the design visit
There’s no need for exact sizes or plans. It is enough to send:
- Rough sizes: width, height and depth
- Anything in the way, such as radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
- Pictures showing the full wall, from floor to ceiling
- Where you live, with the postcode
The quote is built from the design visit. We take full measurements, see how true the walls and floors are and work through the design together. Afterwards, we send a written quote. To arrange the visit, get in touch through our contact form.
What happens on fitting day
If anything comes up on the day, just ask. The design, materials and finish were settled before anything was made, so fitting day is about putting it in place carefully and leaving everything tidy. The time the fitting takes depends on the length of the eaves and the design, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Estates sometimes have their own parking rules alongside the council’s, so it helps to tell us at the design visit. On the day, the sections are carried in, assembled and fixed. Saturday fitting is possible by arrangement.
- You get in touch and let us know about your converted or boarded loft.
- We visit to measure the eaves and slopes and discuss the design.
- A written quote follows, with the design, finish and fitting days set out.
- Your storage is built in our workshop and painted to your chosen colour.
- We carry it up, fit it and leave it ready to use, with the finish sprayed beforehand or painted by hand on site.
How to prepare
- Keep pets in another room while we work
- Let us know where the boiler and meters are
- Leave a clear route from the front door to the room
Getting a quote
Pictures help us understand the room before we visit. A few pictures showing the walls, the corners and where the ceiling meets them tell us a lot about the space, especially with rough sizes. To share them, fill in our short enquiry form, and we will suggest a time for a design visit.

Practical tips
Getting the most from loft storage starts with the planning and carries on after fitting day. These are worth keeping in mind:
- Measure the loft stairs, the turns and the landing
- Decide whether you’d prefer drawers, cupboards or both
- Bring paint colours you like to the design visit
- Let us know about parking near your home
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.
Check now and then that handles and hinges are tight. Tightening early stops a small looseness getting worse. If something stops working smoothly, get in touch through our contact form and describe it.
