Loft storage for your home in Loughborough Junction
How fitting works for loft storage
Period rooms often have skirting boards, picture rails, cornices or coving for the furniture to meet. On fitting day, we cut and scribe the furniture around these details, so it sits neatly against the room. The time the fitting takes depends on the shape of the room and the number of cupboards and drawers, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Some buildings have a concierge, a lift booking system or set working hours, so check them with the managing agent before fitting day. Floors in the flat and the common parts are protected while the furniture comes in.
- You get in touch and describe the loft room, its slopes and any dormer.
- At the design visit we measure the knee walls and the angle of each slope at more than one point, as they’re rarely even.
- Your written quote sets out the storage and the finish.
- In our workshop we build each section from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood to follow the slope.
- On fitting day the units are set level and scribed to the slope and the knee wall.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Check the building’s rules for trades and lift bookings
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture

About our loft storage in Loughborough Junction
Each eaves cupboard is made at our workshop, using moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood. Birch plywood gives the carcasses and drawers their strength, and MDF gives the doors and panels a smooth surface for paint. Once painted, by spray or by hand, it’s carried up and fitted in your home in Loughborough Junction. If your home has wasted space behind the knee walls and a converted loft with no fitted furniture, that’s what eaves cupboards are for, made from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish.
In a block, the lift, the corridors and the door to the flat set the size of each section. Most households around Loughborough Junction live in purpose-built flats, so eaves cupboards are drawn in sections from the start. Floors in the corridor and the flat are covered on the way in.
The quote comes in writing, so there is time to read it properly. It records the design, the materials and the finish we discussed.

Tips worth knowing
A little care keeps the finish looking good, whether it was spray painted or hand painted. These practical tips help:
- Clear the knee-wall spaces before the design visit if you can
- Find out what’s behind the eaves, from insulation to vents
- Check the route up to the loft
- Count the clothes you will need to hang
Before we leave, we check every door and drawer with you. Any access to the eaves is checked so it still opens. That way, everything works as planned.
Temperatures in a loft room can swing more than elsewhere. Keep the room ventilated. It helps the storage stay in good condition.
Storage in Loughborough Junction homes: local notes
About 37% of the homes in the neighbourhood around Loughborough Junction went up before 1919, and about 21% between 1945 and 1972, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. Within a mile of the centre of Loughborough Junction, 16 conservation areas are recorded by Historic England. England has around 10,000 in all, and their controls are largely about how buildings look from outside. Purpose-built flats are home to about 59% of households in the area around Loughborough Junction, in the ONS Census 2021 figures. For a flat, eaves cupboards are made in sections sized for the stairs, the lift and the doors. Building management rules on lifts, deliveries and working hours are worth checking early.
If you live in a period home close to St Matthew's Camberwell, eaves cupboards in a converted loft are scribed to slopes that are rarely even. The wider area includes historic houses such as Kingswood House, about 2.6 miles south. For a period home anywhere nearby, a dormer in a converted loft can hold shelves or a small desk. If you live in a flat close to Loughborough Junction station, the route in is measured as well as the room, and the sections are sized to fit it.

Flats, blocks and rented homes
Many London terraces have been converted into flats, which often brings a shared hall and tight turns on the stairs. Each section is sized with that in mind, once we have measured the way in.
Conversions and newer flats often have stud walls rather than solid brick. We choose fixings to suit the wall.
FAQs: loft storage in Loughborough Junction
Is parking a problem for fitting in Loughborough Junction?
It can be, as controlled parking zones cover much of inner London. Depending on the street, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed, and suspensions often need notice. It helps to tell us about parking at the design visit.
Does a conservation area in or near Loughborough Junction affect fitted furniture?
Typically not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. If your home is listed, internal works that affect its character can require listed building consent, so check with the council first. If you are unsure, the council can confirm.
Where is the furniture made?
Everything is made at our workshop for your room, then brought to your home and fitted. It is built from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
What finishes do you offer?
There are two choices: a spray finish from the workshop, which is smooth and even, or hand painting, which can be done in your home. Your quote sets out which you have chosen.
How much does loft storage cost?
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. The mix of cupboards, drawers and wardrobes, and the finish, all play a part. Everything is set out in a written quote after the visit.
Can I send photos before the visit?
Yes, they help. Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling, give us a good idea of the space, particularly with rough measurements. You can send them when you get in touch through our contact form.
Why bespoke in Loughborough Junction?
In a loft room, walls and floors are seldom square. Standard furniture leaves visible gaps. We scribe our storage to the slopes and walls, and set it level. Large ready-made pieces can be hard to get up the stairs or into the lift, while fitted furniture arrives in sections sized for the route. The sections are assembled once inside.
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. The price depends mainly on the size of the piece, how many doors and drawers it has and what goes inside.

Boards, parts and paint
Plinths and scribe strips
Scribe strips are trimmed to follow the wall and the slope. They help the storage look as though it was always there. The plinth does the same job at the floor.
Spray-painted finish
Spray painting gives the storage a very even surface. It is applied in our workshop, so treat it gently while it cures fully.
