How we make loft storage for Old Oak Common
A sloping ceiling leaves little room for a standard wardrobe. We shape wardrobes to the slope, putting hanging space at the tall end and shelves or drawers where it’s low. It uses the full height of the room. The design visit in Old Oak Common is where we work it out. 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 clothes with nowhere to go in a loft bedroom and a boarded loft that’s hard to keep organised.
Newer homes often have plain spaces left as they are: a recess beside the stairs, a gap by a window, an empty cupboard. Many homes around Old Oak Common date from 2000 onwards, and fitted storage can make spaces like that far more useful. The layout inside is planned to use the full depth.
Everything we agree during the design visit goes into the written quote: the layout and internal fittings, the materials and the finish. If you’d like to change anything, it is easier before the furniture is made.

Loft storage for homes in Old Oak Common
The biggest shares of homes in the area around Old Oak Common were built since 2000 (about 42%) and before 1919 (about 32%), on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. Within a mile of the centre of Old Oak Common, 4 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, so fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. About 32% of homes around Old Oak Common were built before 1919, well below the figure for Hammersmith and Fulham as a whole, about 56%, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. We check what the walls are made of at the design visit, as they vary with the age of the home.
The wider area includes historic houses like Kelmscott House, about 2.5 miles south. If your own home is a period one, sloping ceilings in a loft room suit wardrobes cut to the angle. If you live in a flat close to Willesden Junction station, each piece is planned so it can be carried up and joined together in the room.

Is bespoke worth it?
For simple storage in a boarded loft, ready-made shelving can do the job. Bespoke work makes sense in a converted loft room, where the storage is part of the room. We’ll give you an honest view at the measuring visit. Rooms in newer homes are often compact, and standard depths can take too much floor, while fitted furniture can be made shallower where space is tight. It can still go to the ceiling.
The finish affects the cost: spray painting is done in the workshop, while hand painting can be done on site. Your choice, along with the size and the fittings, is reflected in the written quote.

The problems loft storage solve
Some people want to hide clutter in the eaves. Cupboards behind the knee wall hide them away. It keeps the room tidy.
Requests we hear often include:
- A loft room with too many jobs
- A converted loft with no fitted furniture
- Furniture that cannot get up to the loft
- Wasted space behind the knee walls
If your home is one of the older houses near Church of Eritrean Orthodox Brent, the knee walls of a converted loft can take drawers as well as cupboards.
Before you choose who makes it
- How the furniture will be finished, and where
- Whether they can show you real projects they’ve done
- Whether they measure the room themselves
- Where they’ll park and unload
How fitting day works
Getting everything level comes first. Floors are often out of level, so adjustable feet or a plinth take up the difference, which keeps the lines straight. After that, it is fixed to the wall using fixings that suit the wall, whether that’s solid brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard. Before fixing into a stud wall, we check for pipes and cables, and heavy pieces are fixed into the studs or stand on the floor. Other trades handle any new sockets or plumbing, ideally before fitting day.

Advice
Your questions about loft storage in Old Oak Common
Do you make loft storage for homes in Old Oak Common?
Yes, we work across Hammersmith and Fulham, Old Oak Common included, and across 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 Old Oak Common?
It can be, as controlled parking zones cover much of inner London. A van may need a visitor’s permit, a paid parking bay or a bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. It helps to let us know about parking during the design visit, and we’ll plan around it.
What if my walls and floors are out of level?
Walls and floors that are not true are part of the job in older homes. We trim the edges to follow the wall and level the base, so it sits tight to the room.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
We need someone to let us in at the start of the day. It also helps to have someone around at the end, so we can go over the finished furniture together.
Who chooses the colour?
You choose it. We agree the colour with you, and it is set out in the quote.
Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?
There are two ways to finish it: by spray or by hand. A spray finish is smooth and even, while a hand-painted one is easy to touch up later.
