Loft storage for your home in Harrow
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
Spray painting suits angled panels and plain fronts alike. It is carried out in the workshop for an even coat. Any paint colour agreed with you can be used.
How we make loft storage for Harrow
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. For a home in Harrow, it starts with a design visit to measure and talk it through. If your home has needing storage in a loft office and wasted space behind the knee walls, that is what eaves cupboards are for, made from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
In an area where interwar homes or semis make up much of the housing, as around Harrow, loft conversions are common, and they leave low eaves and sloping ceilings. Fitted storage can make use of the eaves, the bay or the hall. We build storage in lofts that are already converted or boarded.

Common questions about loft storage
Do you make loft storage for homes in Harrow?
Yes. We cover the whole of London, all 32 boroughs and the City 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 Harrow-on-the-Hill station. Is that in your area?
Yes. We cover the whole of London. To get started, you can fill in our short enquiry form with some details about the room, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Can you fit furniture to uneven walls?
That is normal in older homes, and it’s what scribing is for. Edges are scribed to the wall, and adjustable feet or a plinth bring the furniture up to level.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, Saturdays are possible by arrangement. Just mention it when you contact us, and we’ll see what we can do.
Can you fit furniture on an external wall?
An outside wall can be colder and damper than an inside one, so ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps. If there is damp, it should be sorted before anything is fitted.
Can I send photos before the visit?
Yes. They give us a feel for the space before we visit. Show anything the furniture has to work around, such as radiators or sockets.
Storage in Harrow homes: local notes
About 33% of the homes in the streets around Harrow went up between 1919 and 1939, and about 27% before 1919, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. The National Heritage List records 16 entries within half a mile of the centre of Harrow. You can check whether a particular building is listed on Historic England’s list. The Ultra Low Emission Zone has covered all of London since it reached the outer boroughs on 29 August 2023. Vans bringing furniture to Harrow fall under it, just as they do across the rest of London. We plan parking and access with you at the measuring visit.
If your children go to Whitmore High School or a school nearby, eaves cupboards can be planned around what a family needs to keep, from coats and bags to sports kit. The wider area includes historic houses like Headstone Manor, about 1.4 miles north. If your own home is a period one, the knee walls of a converted loft can take drawers as well as cupboards. If you live in a flat close to Harrow-on-the-Hill station, it is useful to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day.
Harrow is one of London’s 33 local authority areas. Anywhere in Harrow, the process is the same: a design visit, a written quote, furniture built in our workshop and fitting in your home. Our work takes in places right across the rest of London, from the busiest high streets to quiet residential roads.
Design visits and fitting in HA2, HA1, UB5 and HA3 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Whether you live on a street like High Street, London Road and Perceval Square or on one nearby, we can visit to measure up for loft storage. Harrow sits close to the B457 and B458. If your home is on one of them, tell us during the design visit, as some main roads have strict stopping rules. Nearby, we also make loft storage in Roxeth (1 mile south), South Harrow (1 mile south), North Harrow (1 mile north-west), Harrow on the Hill (1 mile south-east) and Rayners Lane (1 mile west). We also make loft storage in nearby places like Stanmore (3 miles north-east), Hatch End (2 miles north-west), Harrow Weald (2 miles north), Wealdstone (2 miles north-east), Little Stanmore (4 miles north-east) and Pinner Green (2 miles north-west).
What’s near Harrow
In Harrow, that includes homes near Kingsfield Arms, Grange Primary School and Orley Farm School and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Harrow-on-the-Hill station, about 0.7 miles north-east of the centre. A little further out are Clementine Churchill Hospital (1 mile south-east) and St. George's Shopping Centre (0.7 miles north-east).
Flats, blocks and rented homes
A lot of London’s terraced houses are now converted flats, and that often means a shared hallway and a tight turn on the stairs. Each section is sized with that in mind, after measuring the route during the design visit.
In a flat, the route in matters as much as the room. At the design visit, we measure the stairs, the landings, any lift and the doors, so each section is sized to get through.
Tips worth knowing
A few practical points help before and after fitting day. These are worth keeping in mind:
- Note how narrow the loft stairs are
- Let us know about parking near your home
- Think about matching the woodwork or the walls
- Note any vents or insulation in the eaves
Once the fitting is done, the storage is ready to use. Paint needs time to cure fully, so treat the new finish gently at first. Avoid sticky tape, heavy knocks and harsh cleaners while it hardens.
Keep sharp or very heavy items away from the painted fronts. Store tools in a box, not loose against the doors. A small chip on a hand-painted finish is easy to touch in.
Fitting day, step by step
Finishing comes last. If the furniture was spray painted in the workshop, we fill the fixing holes and touch up on site; hand painting, if that’s what you chose, can be done in place once everything is fitted. The finish is always the one agreed in your quote. Semis and detached houses often have a front path or a side gate, which can make carrying in easier. We measure the path, any steps and the front door as part of the route. Floors are covered from the door to the room, and the sections are assembled in place.
- You get in touch and let us know about the loft and the stairs up to it.
- At the design visit we plan the storage and measure the stairs, landings and loft doorway. Let us know about parking too, as a van often needs a permit or a paid bay.
- A quote in writing follows, covering the design, materials and finish.
- We build the storage in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, sized to get up to the loft.
- The sections go up the stairs, are assembled under the eaves and set level. The finish is sprayed in the workshop or hand-painted in the loft.
Preparing the room
- Have your electrician move any sockets or switches beforehand
- Keep pets in another room while we work
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
Arranging a design visit
Rough measurements are fine at the start. Everything is measured properly when we visit. To get started, send us a few details through our contact form and let us know about the room. You receive a written quote after the visit.

Made for the room, or bought in a box?
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. Storage made for the loft follows its shape. It is a bigger investment, and the gain is the space it uses. Even in a 1930s house, walls and floors are not perfectly true, and standalone units can lean or gap. Fitted furniture is scribed and levelled on site.
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. Bigger pieces use more board and take longer to make and fit, so size comes first. Doors, drawers, internal fittings and the finish make up most of the rest.
