Loft storage in Hampton Wick: what you get
A sloping ceiling leaves little room for a standard wardrobe. A wardrobe made for the slope follows its angle, with hanging where there’s height and shelves or drawers lower down. It makes the most of the room’s height. We will plan it during the design visit in Hampton Wick. Typical reasons to get in touch are a sloping ceiling with no room for a wardrobe and low eaves that nobody can use, and the answer is built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish.
In a part of London with mixed housing, like much of the city, floors, walls and ceilings vary from one home to the next. Each piece is scribed to the wall and set level, whatever the room is like. You choose the paint colour, and whether it’s spray-painted or hand-painted.
The written quote is your record of the job. It describes the eaves cupboard we have designed for the room, its materials and its finish.

Loft storage for homes in Hampton Wick
Homes built before 1919 make up about 37% of the housing in the neighbourhood around Hampton Wick, with about 26% built since 2000, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. That matters for eaves cupboards, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. The National Heritage List has 82 entries within half a mile of the centre of Hampton Wick. Original fireplaces, shutters and panelling are worth keeping where they survive, and the furniture can be designed around them rather than over them. Purpose-built flats are home to about 46% of households in the neighbourhood around Hampton Wick, going by Census 2021 figures from the ONS. In a block, each section is sized to get up the stairs or into the lift and through the door. Building management rules on lifts, deliveries and working hours are worth checking early.
Near listed buildings like Church of All Saints, less than half a mile south-east of the centre of Hampton Wick, older homes may keep original joinery that eaves cupboards can be designed around. For a listed home, fixing into original features can require listed building consent. Hampton Court Palace, about 1.4 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. If your own home is a period one, the low eaves and slopes of a converted loft are worth using. If you live near Canbury Gardens, living near green space often means muddy boots, bikes and outdoor kit, and eaves cupboards can give those things a place.
Hampton Wick is in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, about 1 mile north-east of Kingston upon Thames. Whether your home in Hampton Wick is a terraced house, a flat or a newer build, the furniture is designed around the room as we find it. We cover places right across Kingston upon Thames.
Every address in KT1, KT2 and TW11 is within our area for loft storage, from the main roads to the quieter streets. Our area takes in homes on streets like Park Road, Fife Road and East Road, whether you want loft storage or another piece made for the room. Neighbouring places we cover for loft storage include Teddington (1 mile north-west), Ham (2 miles north), Strawberry Hill (2 miles north-west), Hampton Hill (2 miles north-west) and Fulwell (2 miles north-west). Elsewhere in Kingston upon Thames, we also cover New Malden (2 miles east), Chessington (3 miles south), Hook (3 miles south), Tolworth (2 miles south-east), Berrylands (2 miles south-east) and Motspur Park (3 miles east). Hampton Wick is one of the larger places we cover in Kingston upon Thames.
Local landmarks in Hampton Wick
The streets we cover here include those near Tiffin School, Kingston Grammar School and Foresters Arms. There is a railway station in Hampton Wick itself: Hampton Wick station. Other landmarks nearby include Bentall Centre (a few minutes’ walk east) and Kingston Hospital (1.1 miles east). Not far away are The Wood.
What it costs
Prices vary from room to room, and it comes down to:
- The number of doors and drawers
- The width and height of the space
- Access to the room, like stairs, lifts and narrow halls
- Parking and unloading on your street
The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. The price depends mainly on the size of the piece, how many doors and drawers it has and what goes inside.
Getting in touch
A few details help us understand the job before we visit. When you contact us, it helps to send:
- Pictures showing the full wall, from floor to ceiling
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
- Rough measurements, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- Your postcode and the borough
You don’t need exact measurements to get started. Everything is measured properly when we visit, along with the walls, floor and ceiling. To get started, get in touch through our contact form and let us know about the room. The written quote follows the visit.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Off-the-shelf furniture is made for straight walls and full-height ceilings. In a loft room, standard pieces leave tricky gaps under the slope. Bespoke storage follows the angle of the ceiling and fills the knee wall. It’s a bigger investment, and the gain is the space it uses. Recesses, sloping ceilings and awkward corners are where ready-made furniture struggles most, and most homes have one somewhere. Fitted furniture is designed around them.
Parking is part of the price picture in London. Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones, so a van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension. Tell us about parking during the design visit.

Flats, conversions and lettings
If the property is let, we will need access agreed with the tenants, at times that suit them. An agent can arrange access for you.
In conversions and newer blocks, many internal walls are timber or metal stud with plasterboard. Fixings are chosen to suit whatever the wall is made of, which we check during the design visit.
Your questions about loft storage in Hampton Wick
My home in Hampton Wick is a flat. How do you get the furniture in?
We measure the route in along with the room itself: the stairs, landings, lift and doors. Eaves cupboards are built in our workshop in sections sized to fit that route, then assembled in your flat. It helps to check any building rules and your lease before fitting day.
I live near Hampton Wick station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Kingston upon Thames and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can tell us about the room on our contact form with some details about the room, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
We need access, so someone has to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work, though we like to go over the furniture with you at the end.
Can you build a wardrobe under a sloping ceiling?
Yes. The wardrobe follows the angle of the ceiling, with hanging where there’s height. It uses the full height of the room. We’ll work out the layout when we visit.
Do I need permission in a conservation area?
Typically not. Fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission, even in a conservation area. Listed buildings may need listed building consent for works that affect their character, so check with the council first.
What do you do at the measuring visit?
We measure the room, check how level the walls and floors are and talk through the design with you. We’ll also ask about access and parking, and afterwards we send a quote in writing.
How fitting works for loft storage
On the morning of the fitting, the first job is covering the floors and protecting the way in from the front door. The sections made in our workshop come in next. The time the fitting takes depends on the shape of the room and the number of cupboards and drawers, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Before fitting day, we check the route in not just the room, so the furniture comes in sections sized for the route. We cover floors and doorways on the way in.
- You get in touch and let us know about your converted or boarded loft, and how you get up to it.
- We come to measure the room and the way up to it, and go through the design, including the headroom under the slope.
- You receive a written quote for the storage we have discussed, for you to look over.
- The cupboards and drawers are made in our workshop, in sections sized for the loft stairs.
- The storage is fitted in the loft and checked, door by door.
Before fitting day
- If you live in a block, book the lift and tell the building manager
- Tell us about any meters, fuse boards or boilers in the area
- Take anything hanging off the wall we’re fitting to
Ask for a quote
If you already have something in mind, tell us; if you don’t, that is fine, and we can work it out together. The design is talked through at the visit, once we have measured, and the written quote then sets it out. To arrange a visit, send us a few details through our contact form.

Practical tips
Looking after painted furniture is simple. These habits help most:
- Note the things that need a home in the loft
- Measure the loft stairs, the turns and the landing
- Make room so the whole loft can be measured
- Plan where the tall end of a wardrobe can go
Small marks on a hand-painted finish can be touched in. It’s worth keeping a record of the paint colour. Should you have a question about the storage, tell us about the room on our contact form and we will help.
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.
