Loft Storage in Kingston Vale
Loft storage in Kingston Vale: eaves cupboards, drawers and wardrobes in converted lofts. Every piece is made in our workshop and fitted in your home.
- Boxes piled on loft boards
- Ready-made wardrobes too big for the stairs
- Low eaves that nobody can use
Loft storage designed for your room
Made for the room, or bought in a box?
Off-the-shelf furniture is made for straight walls and full-height ceilings. Under a slope, it leaves large gaps and wasted space. Storage made for the loft follows its shape. It costs more than off-the-shelf furniture, and what you gain is the space a standard piece can’t reach. Walls in interwar houses are straighter than in older ones, but rarely perfect, and standalone units can lean or gap. Fitted furniture is scribed and levelled on site.
Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit. The price depends mainly on the size of the piece, how many doors and drawers it has and what goes inside.

Loft storage for homes in Kingston Vale
Loft rooms are often bedrooms, so storage for clothes matters. A wardrobe under the slope, knee-wall drawers and dormer shelves make a complete set. Designed as one, they give the room calm, consistent lines. For a home in Kingston Vale, it is planned around your things. If you’re living with a dormer that isn’t being used and standard furniture that won’t go up the loft stairs, eaves cupboards made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed can solve it.
Around Kingston Vale, interwar houses or semi-detached and detached homes make up a good part of the housing. In a typical 1930s house, storage tends to hide in the bay, under the stairs and in the box room. Any meters or fuse board under the stairs stay accessible, and the storage is planned around them.
Where other trades are needed, for example an electrician to move a socket, we point that out, so it can be arranged before fitting day. The quote itself covers our work, from the design to the materials and finish.

Kingston Vale homes and loft storage
Homes built between 1919 and 1939 make up about 45% of the housing in the neighbourhood around Kingston Vale, with about 24% built between 1945 and 1972, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Kingston Vale include Dorich House (Grade II), about 0.6 miles north-west. For a listed home, changes inside that alter its character may need listed building consent from the council, for example removing or fixing into original panelling. It’s worth speaking to the council’s conservation officer before the design is final. Detached and semi-detached houses are home to about 81% of households in the streets around Kingston Vale, in the ONS Census 2021 figures. A house like that typically has more rooms to plan around than a flat, and sometimes a driveway that makes unloading easier.
For families living near Robin Hood Primary School, eaves cupboards can give school bags, shoes and sports kit a proper home. If you live in a flat close to Raynes Park station, each piece is planned so it can be carried up and joined together in the room. For an older house near St John the Baptist, a dormer in a converted loft can hold shelves or a small desk.
Kingston Vale is within the London Borough of Merton, about 2 miles east of Wimbledon. From period terraces to newer flats in Kingston Vale, we measure the room as it is and design around it. Across Merton, we cover Kingston Vale.
Design visits and fitting in SW15, KT2 and SW20 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Streets in the area include Keswick Avenue, Derwent Avenue and Robin Hood Lane, and we cover homes on all of them for loft storage. Kingston Vale sits close to the A308. If your home is on one of them, tell us at the measuring visit, as some main roads have strict stopping rules. If you are just outside Kingston Vale, we also cover Putney Vale (1 mile north), Coombe Hill (1 mile west), Coombe (1 mile south-west), Copse Hill (1 mile south-east) and Crooked Billet (1 mile south-east). Across the rest of Merton, our area takes in Wimbledon (2 miles east), Colliers Wood (4 miles east), Morden (3 miles south-east), Eastfields (4 miles east), South Wimbledon (2 miles east) and Merton Abbey (3 miles east).

Your questions about loft storage in Kingston Vale
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Raynes Park station?
Yes, homes across Merton and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can send us a few details through our contact form to arrange a design visit, and tell us about parking and access at the same time.
Can you make loft storage for a home in Kingston Vale?
Yes. We cover all of Merton and the rest of London, and Kingston Vale is part of that. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and talk through the design, followed by a quote.
What do you do at the measuring visit?
We take full measurements, look at the walls and floors and work through the design together. Access and parking are worth talking about too, and afterwards we send a quote in writing.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, we can arrange Saturdays. Just mention it when you contact us, and we’ll see what we can do.
How long does it take to fit loft storage?
The time the fitting takes depends on the length of the eaves and the design, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Because everything is made at our workshop, the work in your home is the fitting itself. We work tidily and keep the stairs and landing as clear as we can.
What finishes do you offer?
There are two ways to finish it: spray painted or hand painted. Spray painting gives a smooth, even finish, and hand painting is easy to touch up.
From workshop to your room
Finishing comes last. If the furniture was spray painted in the workshop, we fill the fixing holes and touch up on site; if you chose hand painting, that can be done in the room once the furniture is fitted. Either way, the finish is the one set out in your quote. In a 1930s house with a converted loft, the stairs to the loft room are often steeper than the main flight, so pieces for a loft room are sized for the narrowest point. Elsewhere in the house, the route is typically more generous. The pieces are joined and fixed once in place.

Pricing loft storage in Kingston Vale
When we put a quote together, we consider:
- How big the furniture is
- Awkward walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- Parking near your home
Awkward rooms take more time: uneven walls, sloping floors and angled ceilings all add scribing and cutting on site. That’s reflected in the quote.
What we need to know
What helps most when you first contact us:
- Rough sizes, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- Where you live, with the postcode
- Anything in the way, like radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
It is 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 share them, get in touch through our contact form, and we’ll suggest a time for a design visit.
Looking after your furniture
Fresh paintwork takes a while to cure fully, so treat it gently at first. Beyond that, these tips help:
- Empty the eaves so we can see what’s behind
- Decide whether you’d prefer drawers, cupboards or both
- Note how narrow the loft stairs are
- Find out what’s behind the eaves, from insulation to vents
Before we leave, we check every door and drawer with you. Any access to the eaves is checked so it still opens. You will know it all works as it should.
Don’t overfill drawers, as heavy loads strain the runners. A quick sort every so often helps. Keep the heaviest things near the floor.
