Loft storage in Malden Rushett
Loft rooms are often bedrooms, so storage for clothes matters. Wardrobes under the slope, drawers in the knee wall and shelves in the dormer can all work together. Planned together, they make the room feel ordered. For a home in Malden Rushett, it’s planned around your things. We make eaves cupboards from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish, and people most often get in touch about ready-made wardrobes too big for the stairs and a boarded loft with no proper shelving.
In an area where interwar homes or semis make up much of the housing, as around Malden Rushett, 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.
After the design visit, we send you a quote in writing. It describes the design we discussed, the materials and the finish, so you know exactly what you are getting.

DIY, flat-pack or bespoke
If you are handy, a simple shelf or a standard wardrobe in a square room is a reasonable DIY job. It gets harder with sloping ceilings, out-of-level floors and lath-and-plaster walls, because scribing and the right fixings start to matter.
Shop-bought shelves can sag over a long span. Span, depth and the weight on it decide whether a shelf sags, so a long run needs a thicker shelf, a stiffening lip or a support. We design shelves with that in mind.
Fitted storage in Malden Rushett

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 Malden Rushett include Rushett Farmhouse (Grade II), less than half a mile south-east. If you live in a listed building, fixing into or taking out original features such as panelling can need listed building consent. Ask the council’s conservation officer before anything is fixed.

Questions from Malden Rushett
Do you cover homes near Chessington South station?
Yes. We cover all of Kingston upon Thames and the rest of London. You can get in touch through our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Malden Rushett?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. 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 let us know about parking during the design visit, and we’ll plan around it.
Does eaves storage affect the insulation?
Not when it’s planned well. At the design visit we check what’s there and leave the space it needs. Insulation and ventilation work itself isn’t ours.
Who chooses the colour?
You choose it. The paint colour is agreed with you.
Do you do the loft conversion too?
No, the conversion itself isn’t our work. Our part is the storage once the loft is a finished room, including eaves cupboards, knee-wall drawers and wardrobes.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, by prior arrangement. Tell us when you get in touch if a Saturday suits you best.

What affects the price in Malden Rushett
The price reflects the time and materials the job needs. That depends on:
- How big the furniture is
- The internal fittings
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
- The number of doors and drawers
Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit. Bigger pieces use more board and take longer to make and fit. After that, the number of doors and drawers, the internal fittings and the finish all play a part.
What to send when you contact us
To give us a picture of the room, it is useful to include:
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
- Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling

Fitting day, step by step
Before anything is fixed, we set the furniture level. Floors are often out of level, so adjustable feet or a plinth take up the difference, which keeps the lines straight. Only then is it fixed to the wall, with fixings chosen to suit brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard. Fitting day means carrying in the sections, joining them and fitting them to the walls. Spray-painted pieces come finished from the workshop, while hand painting can happen on site. Saturdays can be arranged.

What it is made from
Plinths and scribe strips
In a loft room, walls, slopes and floors are rarely straight. Scribe strips and a plinth take up the difference. That keeps the lines neat all round.
Hand-painted finish
A hand-painted finish can be done in your home after fitting. It’s easy to touch up if it gets marked. That suits a room in daily use.
Flats, leases and landlords
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. Lifts sometimes need to be booked, and the lift size helps decide how big each section can be. Mention it when you get in touch.
Landlords furnishing a let use fitted furniture too, as it makes good use of an awkward room. The materials are the same as for any home: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with a spray or hand-painted finish.
