Pitshanger Loft Storage
Few London rooms are perfectly square, and we scribe the furniture to follow the walls. Our work on loft storage in Pitshanger starts with a design visit, and everything is made at our workshop.
- Low eaves that nobody can use
- Needing storage in a loft office
- A new loft conversion that needs storage
Loft storage designed for your room
Loft storage in Pitshanger
Getting furniture up to a loft room is part of the planning. We measure the route along with the room itself, so every section made at our workshop fits up the stairs. It is part of the job for any loft room in Pitshanger. We make eaves cupboards from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish, and the usual reasons to get in touch are a boarded loft with no proper shelving and boxes and suitcases with no home.
A deep cupboard can lose things at the back, so the design uses drawers, lids or shelves to bring things within reach. For a home in Pitshanger, what works depends on how deep and how tall the space is. Services like meters and boilers stay reachable.
The written quote is your record of the job. It describes the eaves cupboard we’ve designed for the room, its materials and its finish, and it’s what the workshop builds to.

What it’s made from
Spray-painted finish
Spray painting gives the storage a very even surface. We apply it in our workshop, and the paint needs time to cure fully once fitted.
Birch plywood
Drawers in the knee wall can carry heavy things, from boxes to bedding. That’s why we make drawer boxes from birch plywood. It works well for longer shelves too.
Pitshanger homes and loft storage
The biggest shares of homes in the area around Pitshanger were built before 1919 (about 43%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 18%), going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. 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 Pitshanger, 9 conservation areas are recorded by Historic England. Historic England says England has around 10,000, and the controls mainly cover the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. All of London, Ealing included, is inside the ULEZ. So any van that delivers or fits furniture in Pitshanger is covered by it. Access and parking are talked through at the design visit.
For families living near North Ealing Primary School, deep drawers suit the bulky things families collect, from scooters to swimming kit. If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, like Church of St Mary the Virgin, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. If your own home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original features.
Pitshanger is part of the London Borough of Ealing, about 1 mile south of Ealing. Design visits and fitting in Pitshanger can be on a Saturday, by arrangement. Across Ealing, we cover Pitshanger and the places around it.
Every home in W5, W13 and UB6 is within our area for loft storage, from the main roads to the quieter streets. Our area takes in homes on streets like Selby Road, Argyle Road and Kent Avenue, along with the roads around them, for loft storage and any of our other fitted furniture. We also cover the places around Pitshanger: Brentham Garden Suburb (1 mile east), Perivale (1 mile north), Ealing (1 mile south), Hanwell (2 miles south-west) and West Ealing (2 miles south-west). Across the rest of Ealing, our area takes in Acton (2 miles south-east), Southall (3 miles south-west), Northolt (3 miles north-west), Acton Green (3 miles south-east), Bedford Park (3 miles south-east) and Northfields (2 miles south).
Around Pitshanger
The streets we cover here include those near St Benedict's School, Brentham Clubhouse pub and Ealing Independent College and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Castle Bar Park station, roughly 0.8 miles west. A little further out are London Transport Museum Depot (2 miles south-east) and Ealing Hospital (1.9 miles south-west). Not far away are Fox Wood and Castlebar Hill.
Is bespoke worth it?
A standalone wardrobe can go with you when you move. Fitted storage stays with the house, and it uses the slopes in a way a standalone piece cannot. The right choice depends on how long you plan to stay. Standard units come with shelves and rails where the maker put them, rather than where you need them. With fitted furniture, the inside is planned around what you keep.
Every room is priced on its own, because size, layout and finish change from job to job. A spray finish and a hand-painted finish involve different work, and that shows in the price. The figure comes in your written quote after the design visit.

Do you need loft storage in Pitshanger?
A dormer can feel like wasted space. Shelves, a desk or a seat in the dormer make it useful. It adds storage without crowding the room.
We’re often asked to help with:
- Clothes with nowhere to go in a loft bedroom
- A loft room that still feels unfinished
- Low eaves that nobody can use
- A boarded loft that’s hard to keep organised
If you live in a flat close to Castle Bar Park station, it is useful to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day.

Your questions about loft storage in Pitshanger
I live in a flat in Pitshanger. 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’s worth checking those early.
Is Pitshanger in the area you cover for loft storage?
Yes, we work across Ealing, Pitshanger included, and across the rest of London. You can get in touch through our contact form to arrange a design visit.
How much does loft storage cost?
The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. 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.
What are your eaves cupboards made from?
The storage is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood. Birch plywood gives strength to the carcasses and drawers, while the doors and panels are MDF, which paints well. Everything is finished by spray painting or hand painting.
What do you do at the measuring visit?
It’s a chance to measure properly and talk through what you’d like. We also check the walls and floors and note radiators, sockets and other things in the way, and the written quote comes afterwards.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
Someone needs to be there to let us in. After that, you do not need to stay in the room, though we like to go over the furniture with you at the end.

How fitting day works
There is not much for you to do on fitting day. Someone needs to let us in, and the room should already be cleared, as we will have talked about during the design visit. After that, it’s over to us: the floors are covered, the sections come in and the fitting begins. 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. We measure the hall, stairs, doors and any lift along with the room itself, so the furniture comes in sections sized for the route. Floors and doorways are protected while the pieces come in.
- You get in touch and tell us about your converted or boarded loft.
- We come to measure the room and the way up to it, and go through the design, including the headroom under the slope.
- We send a written quote setting out the design, materials and finish, for you to look over.
- We make every part in our workshop, cut to the angle of the slope. We use moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- The storage is fitted in the loft and checked, door by door, with the finish sprayed beforehand or painted by hand on site.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Tell us about any meters, fuse boards or boilers in the area
- Tell us about parking near your home
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
