Loft storage for your home in Hurlingham
About our loft storage in Hurlingham
Dormers are a natural place for shelving or a small desk. Their sides are often angled, and their walls rarely straight. Each piece is scribed to the dormer. It uses space that might otherwise be wasted. We will discuss the options in Hurlingham. We make eaves cupboards from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand, and the things people most often want solved are needing storage in a loft office and nowhere to store bags and boxes.
Original features like shutters, cupboard doors and panelling are worth keeping where they survive. Around Hurlingham, where homes from before 1919 make up a large share, new storage can be made to sit beside them rather than replace them. Door styles can be chosen to suit the age of the house. For a listed home, fixing into original joinery can need consent, so check first.
If the job needs another trade, like an electrician or a plumber, we will tell you. Our quote covers the carpentry: the design, the materials and the finish.

Loft storage in Hurlingham: local notes
About 55% of the homes in the area around Hurlingham went up before 1919, and about 26% since 2000, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. The age of a home tells us a lot about its walls, floors and ceilings, and so about how eaves cupboards are fixed and fitted. Hurlingham is partly covered by a conservation area, according to Historic England’s records. The controls in a conservation area are mostly about the outside of buildings, so furniture fitted inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. The council can confirm if you’re not sure. About 26% of homes in the neighbourhood around Hurlingham were built since 2000, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. In a newer house with a converted loft, the space under the slopes can be used.
If your home is one of the older houses near St Dionis, sloping ceilings in a loft room suit wardrobes cut to the angle. Close to Parsons Green (park)? Eaves cupboards can be designed to hold outdoor kit, from walking boots to picnic things.

How fitting day works
At the end, we tidy up and take up the floor coverings. Before we go, we look over the finished furniture with you and explain how to look after the paint. The time the fitting takes depends on the length of the eaves and the design, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Parking on terraced streets can be tight, especially in a controlled parking zone, so it is useful to tell us during the design visit what’s outside. Unloading is kept short, with sections taken straight inside. Saturday fitting can be arranged.

Advice
Common questions about loft storage
Does a conservation area in or near Hurlingham affect fitted furniture?
Not normally. Conservation area controls are mainly about the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different, as works inside that affect their character may need listed building consent from the council. The council’s planning or conservation team can tell you if in doubt.
I live near Imperial Wharf station. Is that in your area?
Yes. We cover all of Hammersmith and Fulham and the rest of London. To get started, you can tell us about the room on our contact form with some details about the room.
Do you do the loft conversion too?
No, we build storage in lofts that are already converted or boarded. Loft conversions are building work, with Building Regulations to follow. When the room is finished, we can plan the storage.
What if the wall is cold or damp?
An outside wall can be colder and damper than an inside one, so ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps to avoid condensation. Any damp needs sorting by the right specialist before fitting.
Can you get furniture up narrow loft stairs?
Every piece is made in sections that fit up the stairs. We measure the way up as well as the room. That way, even a large wardrobe can reach the loft.
Which materials go into your loft storage?
The storage is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood. Birch plywood gives strength to the carcasses and drawers, while the doors and panels are MDF, which paints well. The finish is spray-painted or hand-painted.
What prompts loft storage in Hurlingham
A dormer can feel like wasted space. Shelves, a desk or a seat in the dormer make it useful. It adds storage without crowding the room.
Loft storage can help with:
- Seasonal things cluttering the loft room
- Ready-made wardrobes too big for the stairs
- Wasted space behind the knee walls
- A boarded loft with no proper shelving
Fulham Palace, about 0.7 miles 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.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- Will the doors close with even gaps?
- Who does any electrics, plumbing or gas work
- Are the boards named, like MDF or plywood?
- Whether the quote follows a visit to your home
Bespoke loft storage or ready-made?
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’s a bigger investment, and the gain is the space it uses. Tall standalone furniture needs fixing back to the wall so it can’t tip, and older walls of brick or lath and plaster make that harder than it looks. With fitted pieces, the fixings are planned for the wall from the start.
Getting to the room affects the job as well. Narrow halls, tight stairs or a small lift may mean the furniture is made in more sections, and that is part of the price. We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit.

Practical tips
These points come up often when people plan loft storage. They help whatever the room:
- Make room so the whole loft can be measured
- Measure the loft stairs, the turns and the landing
- Think about hanging space for a loft bedroom
- Note the things that need a home in the loft
A hand-painted finish is easy to touch up if it gets marked. Keep a note of the colour for later. Should you have a question about the storage, use our contact form and we’ll help.
Sharp edges and heavy boxes can chip a painted edge. Put tools in a case so they don’t knock the paint. A small chip on a hand-painted finish is easy to touch in.
