Loft storage for your home in Kingston upon Thames
What it is made from
Spray-painted finish
Spray painting gives the storage a very even surface. We apply it in our workshop, so treat it gently while it cures fully.
Birch plywood
We use birch plywood where strength matters. It goes into the carcasses, the drawers and the shelves. Its layered edge can be shown or painted.
How we make loft storage for Kingston upon Thames
Getting furniture up to a loft room is part of the planning. At the design visit, we measure the stairs and landings as well as the loft, so every section built in our workshop fits up the stairs. It is a step that matters for any loft in Kingston upon Thames. If you’re living with a new loft conversion that needs storage and a loft room with too many jobs, that is what eaves cupboards are for, made from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
Where housing is mixed, as in much of London, floors, walls and ceilings vary from one home to the next. Eaves cupboards are scribed and levelled on site, so they look straight even where the room is not. The finish, spray-painted or hand-painted, is agreed with you.
The written quote puts the design visit in writing: the layout and internal fittings, the materials and the finish. If something isn’t quite right, tell us before anything is made.

What prompts loft storage in Kingston upon Thames
A new loft conversion often needs storage to finish it. Standard furniture rarely suits the new room. Fitted storage finishes the room.
We’re often asked to help with:
- A boarded loft that is hard to keep organised
- A new loft conversion that needs storage
- Unused space in a dormer
- Nowhere to store bags and boxes
The wider area includes historic houses such as Hampton Court Palace, about 1.8 miles south-west. If your own home is a period one, eaves cupboards in a converted loft are scribed to slopes that are rarely even.
Before you hire any carpenter
- Will they visit to measure before quoting?
- Which parts of the job need an electrician or a plumber
- How doors and drawers are fitted
- Is it spray painted or hand painted?
Making use of tricky spaces in Kingston upon Thames
Homes built before 1919 make up about 36% of the housing in the area around Kingston upon Thames, with about 21% built between 1945 and 1972, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. 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. The National Heritage List has 59 entries within half a mile of the centre of Kingston upon Thames. Original fireplaces, shutters and panelling are worth keeping where they survive, and the furniture can be designed around them rather than over them. TfL’s Ultra Low Emission Zone covers every part of London, the rest of London included. So any van that delivers or fits furniture in Kingston upon Thames is covered by it. Access and parking are talked through during the design visit.
If you live near Canbury Gardens, eaves cupboards can be designed to hold outdoor kit, from walking boots to picnic things. If your home is one of the older houses near Church of St Luke, a dormer in a converted loft can hold shelves or a small desk.
Kingston upon Thames is one of London’s 33 local authority areas. We cover Kingston upon Thames as part of our work across the rest of London. We cover places right across the rest of London, from the busiest high streets to quiet residential roads.

From workshop to your room
In older rooms, the furniture normally has to meet skirting, picture rails, cornice or coving. On fitting day, we cut and scribe the furniture around these details, so it looks as though it was always there. How long 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. Fitting day means joining the sections, fitting them to the walls and setting them level. The fixings suit whatever the walls are made of. Saturdays can be arranged.
- It starts when you contact us with a few details about the loft.
- At the design visit we measure the knee walls, slopes and stairs and plan the storage with you, including the headroom under the slope.
- You receive a quote in writing for the storage we have discussed.
- We make every part in our workshop, cut to the angle of the slope. We use moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit it in your home, scribed to the slopes and the walls, with the finish sprayed beforehand or painted by hand on site.
Before we arrive
- Clear the walls of pictures and shelves
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
- Check the building’s rules for trades and lift bookings

Flats, leases and landlords
If your building is on a red route or a busy main road, getting the furniture from the van to the door needs planning. Red routes are run by TfL and have strict stopping rules, so it is worth raising during the design visit.
Many London terraces have been converted into flats, which often brings a shared hall and tight turns on the stairs. We plan the size of each section around it, once we have measured the way in.

Honest limits
We’re carpenters, so some jobs belong to other trades. It helps to know these before you plan the job:
- New sockets, lights or wiring, which are for your electrician
- Fixing damp or ventilation problems in the eaves
- Converting the loft itself, which is not our work
If in doubt, you can drop us a line using the contact form and describe the room before you arrange a visit. How a job runs, step by step.

Common questions about loft storage
I live in a flat in Kingston upon Thames. How will the furniture get up the stairs?
We measure the route in not just the room: the stairs, landings, lift and doors. Eaves cupboards are made at our workshop in sections sized to fit that route, then assembled in your flat. If your building has rules on lift booking or working hours, or your lease needs consent for alterations, it is worth checking those early.
Do you cover homes near Kingston station?
Yes, homes across London are within the area we cover. You can send us a few details through our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Do I get to choose the colour?
The choice is yours, and it’s agreed with you before painting. Whichever finish you pick, it is in the colour you have chosen.
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.
How long does it take to fit loft storage?
How long fitting takes depends on the length of the eaves and the design, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. We make the cupboards and drawers in our workshop, so the time at your home is spent fitting. If you’d like the fitting on a Saturday, that can be arranged.
Can you come on a Saturday?
Yes, by prior arrangement. If a Saturday works better for you, say so when you get in touch.
