Loft Storage in Grahame Park
Walls in older London homes are rarely straight, so we scribe the furniture to follow them. We make loft storage for homes in Grahame Park, each designed at a visit to your home.
- A dormer that is not being used
- Needing storage in a loft office
- Low eaves that nobody can use
Loft storage designed for your room
How fitting day works
When the fitting is done, we tidy the room and lift the floor protection. Before we go, we look over the finished furniture with you. The time the fitting takes depends on how much storage you want in the loft, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Newer homes often have finished floors, painted walls and new doors that mark easily, so we protect the route before carrying anything in. Door frames and corners get covers too. The sections are assembled in the room.
- 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.
- The design is agreed and a quote in writing follows.
- The storage is made in our workshop, in sections sized for the stairs. It’s made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We carry it up, fit it and check every door and drawer with you. Any hand painting is done in the loft.
Before fitting day
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
- Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician in advance
- Take anything hanging off the wall we are fitting to
How to get a quote
A quote begins with some details from you: which room it is, rough measurements and a couple of pictures if you can take them. To send them, use our contact form. We’ll then arrange a design visit and follow it with a written quote.

Loft storage in Grahame Park
Behind an eaves door, there’s often insulation and a need for ventilation. Storage shouldn’t block the ventilation or squash the insulation. If you have concerns about what’s behind the eaves, ask the people who did the conversion. When we visit in Grahame Park, we’ll see what’s there. We make eaves cupboards from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted, and the things people most often want solved are wasted space behind the knee walls and a loft room that doubles as an office or guest room.
A large share of the homes around Grahame Park date from 2000 onwards, and in a newer house with a converted loft, the eaves and slopes are worth using. For lofts, the storage goes into spaces that are already converted or boarded. Elsewhere, fitted storage is fixed to plasterboard walls with fixings that suit it.
A written quote is the clearest record of what we have agreed. It describes the eaves cupboard we’ve designed for the room, what it’s made from and how it’s finished.

Flats, leases and landlords
Many London terraces have been converted into flats, which often brings a shared hall and tight turns on the stairs. Each section is sized with that in mind, after measuring the route at the measuring visit.
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. Lifts sometimes need to be booked, and the lift size helps decide how big each section can be. Mention it when you contact us.
How we price loft storage
Not every room costs the same, for these reasons:
- Doors and drawers, and how many
- Spray painting or hand painting
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
- How big the furniture is
The finish affects the cost: spray painting happens in the workshop, and hand painting can be done in your home. Your choice, along with the size and the fittings, is reflected in the written quote.
Getting in touch
The more you can tell us at the start, the better the design visit goes. It is useful to include:
- Anything in the way, such as radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
- Rough sizes, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- The type of home and how the room is reached
- Your postcode and the borough
It’s useful to see the room before we come. Pictures of the whole wall, the corners and the ceiling line tell us a lot about the space. To send them over, send us a few details through our contact form, and we will suggest a time for a design visit.
Your questions about loft storage in Grahame Park
Do you cover homes near Mill Hill Broadway station?
Yes, homes across Barnet and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can send us a few details through our contact form with a few details about the room, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Grahame Park?
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. It’s useful to let us know about parking during the design visit.
Is an outside wall a problem for fitted furniture?
An outside wall can be colder and damper than an inside one, so ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps. If there’s damp, it should be sorted before anything is fitted.
How do you get large pieces into a loft?
Every piece is made in sections that fit up the stairs. At the design visit, we measure the loft stairs, the turns and the landings. It means a full wardrobe can still reach the room.
Can you convert my loft as well?
No, we build storage in lofts that are already converted or boarded. A conversion is building work, and Building Regulations apply. Once your loft is converted, we can design the storage.
Should I send photos?
Yes, they help. Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling, give us a good idea of the space. To send them, fill in our short enquiry form.
When you need someone else
We make and fit furniture, and we do not do electrics, plumbing, gas, plastering or structural work. Please bear these in mind too:
- Structural changes, such as cutting into rafters or joists
- Building Regulations approval for a conversion
- Any wiring, which needs an electrician
Not sure whether your space suits loft storage? You can tell us about the room on our contact form and we’ll tell you before you arrange a visit. How a job runs, step by step.
What it is made from
- Eaves doors and drawers

Loft storage in Grahame Park: local notes
About 54% of the homes in the neighbourhood around Grahame Park went up since 2000, and about 20% between 1973 and 1999, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. There are 8 entries on the National Heritage List within half a mile of the centre of Grahame Park. Being near listed buildings doesn’t make a home listed, and you can check any address on Historic England’s list. Parking controls in London are set borough by borough, so Barnet has its own. If your road in Grahame Park falls in a zone, the van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay, which the council arranges, often with notice. Parking near your home is worth mentioning at the design visit.
For a family home near St James' Catholic High School, a place for each person’s coat and shoes stops the hallway filling up. If you live near Sunny Hill Park, living near green space often means muddy boots, bikes and outdoor kit, and eaves cupboards can give those things a place. If you live in a period home close to St Augustine Grahame Park, a dormer in a converted loft can hold shelves or a small desk.
Grahame Park is about 3 miles east of Finchley, part of the London Borough of Barnet. We cover Grahame Park as part of our work across Barnet. Our Barnet coverage includes Grahame Park.

DIY, flat-pack or bespoke
Shop-bought shelves can sag over a long span. How much a shelf bends depends on its span, depth and load, and long runs need a thicker shelf, a lip along the front or a support. We design shelves with that in mind.
Bespoke work comes into its own in rooms that aren’t square. In period homes, walls lean, floors slope and the alcoves on each side are often different widths.
