About our loft storage in Richmond upon Thames
Behind the short walls at the edge of a loft room, there is often space going to waste. Cupboards and drawers set into the knee wall make that space useful. Pull-out drawers mean you don’t have to crawl in. At the design visit in Richmond upon Thames, we’ll see what fits. If your home has space under the eaves going to waste and a dormer that isn’t being used, eaves cupboards made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed can solve it.
Where housing is mixed, as in much of London, floors, walls and ceilings vary from one home to the next. Eaves cupboards are scribed and levelled on site, so they look straight even where the room isn’t. The finish, spray-painted or hand-painted, is agreed with you.
The quote comes in writing, so there is time to read it properly and share it with anyone else involved. It records the design, the materials and the finish we discussed.

More about loft storage
Is it time for loft storage?
A dormer can feel like wasted space. Built-in furniture in a dormer puts it to work. It adds storage without crowding the room.
Some of the things we are asked to solve include:
- Wasted space behind the knee walls
- A boarded loft that is hard to keep organised
- Unused space in a dormer
- A loft room that still feels unfinished
Close to Pesthouse Common? Eaves cupboards can be designed to hold outdoor kit, from walking boots to picnic things.
What to check before you book
- Have they measured the stairs, lift and doorways?
- Whether the finish is set out in the quote
- Whether they measure the room themselves
- Have they thought about parking near you?
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Standard units come in set widths and heights, so there’s often a strip of wasted space at the side or above. Furniture we make is built to the room’s own sizes, so it can use the full height and width.
Flat-pack and off-the-shelf furniture has its place. If the walls are straight and the space suits standard sizes, it often does the job, and it’s easy to buy.
Loft storage in Richmond upon Thames: local notes
In the area around Richmond upon Thames, the largest groups of homes date from before 1919 (about 44%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 20%), in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock 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. Near the centre of Richmond upon Thames, Historic England’s list includes The Trumpeters' House (Grade I), about 0.6 miles west, and Houblon's Almshouses (Grade II*), less than half a mile north-west. If your own home is listed, changes inside that alter its character, such as fixing into or removing original joinery, can require listed building consent. An early word with the council’s conservation officer is the best first step. Each London borough runs its own parking controls, and the rest of London is no exception. If your street in Richmond upon Thames is in a controlled parking zone, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a parking bay suspension through the council may be needed. We ask about parking during the design visit, so the day can be planned around it.
The wider area includes historic houses such as Pembroke Lodge, about 1.3 miles south. If your own home is a period one, a dormer in a converted loft can hold shelves or a small desk. For families living near Marshgate Primary School, deep drawers suit the bulky things families collect, from scooters to swimming kit.

Questions from Richmond upon Thames
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Richmond upon Thames?
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’s useful to tell us about parking during the design visit, so we can plan the day around it.
I live near Richmond station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can get in touch through our contact form with a few details about the room.
How long will the loft storage fitting take?
How long the fitting takes depends on how much storage you want in the loft, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Because everything is made in our workshop, the work in your home is the fitting itself. We keep the route up to the loft as clear as possible.
Can you build a wardrobe under a sloping ceiling?
Yes. We shape the wardrobe to follow the slope, with hanging at the tall end and shelves or drawers lower down. It makes the most of the space. We will work out the layout when we visit.
Do you do the electrics?
No. Electrical work isn’t something we do; it’s a job for your electrician. We can allow for cable routes in the design.
Can you fit furniture to uneven walls?
Walls and floors that aren’t true are part of the job in older homes. The furniture is scribed to follow the walls and levelled on feet or a plinth, so there are no gaps at the sides.
Practical tips
Fitted furniture is part of the room, so it’s worth looking after. A few pointers help:
- Note how narrow the loft stairs are
- Mention any parking rules on your street
- Consider drawers for the deep, low spaces
- Look at the insulation and any vents behind the knee wall
Do not pack things so tightly that air can’t move behind the knee wall. The storage is planned to keep airflow, so leave that space open. It helps keep the loft in good order.
Every so often, look at the handles and hinges. Tightening early stops a small looseness getting worse. If something stops working smoothly, send us a few details through our contact form and describe it.
What happens on fitting day
With the carcasses fixed and level, we hang any doors and fit any drawers or lids. We adjust each one so the gaps line up and it closes cleanly, then checked again. How long the fitting takes depends on the length of the eaves and the design, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. London parking ranges from controlled zones to driveways and private bays, so let us know what’s near you at the measuring visit. For a flat, building rules on lifts and working hours are worth checking.
- You tell us about your converted or boarded loft.
- We measure the eaves, the slopes and the stairs up to the loft, as everything has to get up there.
- The design is agreed and a written quote follows, with the finish set out.
- The storage is made in our workshop, in sections sized for the stairs.
- We carry it up, fit it and check every door and drawer with you.
Before fitting day
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
- Let us know about any meters, fuse boards or boilers in the area
- Clear the area where the furniture is going
