Need loft storage in Roehampton?
Made for the room, or bought in a box?
Loft walls are rarely straight, and floors are often out of level. Ready-made pieces show the gaps. We scribe our storage to the slopes and walls, and set it level. Post-war rooms are often compact, and standard furniture sizes waste space at the ends and the top, while fitted furniture fills the space. The pieces are made to the room’s own widths.
Parking is part of the price picture in London. Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones, so we may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay. Let us know about parking at the design visit.

How we make loft storage for Roehampton
Many loft rooms are bedrooms, and storage for clothes is the first need. Wardrobes under the slope, drawers in the knee wall and shelves in the dormer can all work together. Designed as one, they give the room calm, consistent lines. For a home in Roehampton, it is planned around your things. If your home has needing storage in a loft office and nowhere to store bags and boxes, eaves cupboards made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand can solve it.
Some post-war homes still have their original hall or landing cupboards, which can be rebuilt with better shelves and doors. Around Roehampton, many homes come from the post-war decades, so those spaces are worth a look. New carcasses are made to fit the opening and fixed to the wall behind.
The written quote is your record of the job. It describes the eaves cupboard we’ve designed for the room, what it is made from and how it is finished, and it’s what the workshop builds to.

Roehampton homes and loft storage
In the streets around Roehampton, the largest groups of homes date from between 1945 and 1972 (about 46%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 18%), in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. It is a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. 14 conservation areas have at least part of their area less than a mile from the middle of Roehampton. England has around 10,000 in all, and their controls are mainly about the outside of buildings. The Ultra Low Emission Zone has covered all of London since it reached the outer boroughs on 29 August 2023. So any van that delivers or fits furniture in Roehampton is covered by it. How the van gets to your door is planned at the measuring visit.
If your home is one of the older houses near St Margaret's Church, eaves cupboards in a converted loft are scribed to slopes that are rarely even. The wider area includes historic houses such as Fulham Palace, about 1.3 miles north-east. For a period home anywhere nearby, sloping ceilings in a loft room suit wardrobes cut to the angle.
Roehampton is about 3 miles east of Clapham Junction, in the London Borough of Wandsworth. Homes in Roehampton are part of the area we cover for loft storage, as part of our work in every London borough. Our work takes in places right across Wandsworth, large and small.
Every home in SW15 and SW13 is within our area for loft storage. Streets in the area include Rodway Road, Cortis Road and Torwood Road, and homes on each of them are within our area for loft storage. We also cover the places around Roehampton: Putney (1 mile north-east), Barnes (1 mile north), Mortlake (1 mile north-west), East Sheen (1 mile north-west) and Putney Vale (2 miles south-west). We also make loft storage in nearby places like Clapham Junction (3 miles east), Battersea (3 miles east), Wandsworth (2 miles east), Tooting (4 miles south-east), Tooting Bec (4 miles south-east) and Balham (4 miles east).
Local landmarks in Roehampton
Our area takes in the homes around King's Head pub, The Falcons School for Girls and ARK Putney Academy, among other places. The closest station to Roehampton is Barnes station, roughly 0.8 miles north of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Putney Exchange (1 mile north-east) and Queen Marys Hospital Museum Exhibition (within half a mile west). Green spaces nearby include Duke's Hollow.
When is bespoke worth it?
Standard units come in set widths and heights, so there’s usually a gap left over at the top or at one end. Fitted furniture is made to the room’s measurements, so it can run to the ceiling and fill the width.
Shop-bought shelves can sag over a long span. How much a shelf bends depends on its span, depth and load, and long runs need a thicker shelf, a lip along the front or a support. We design shelves with that in mind.

Boards, parts and paint
Doors and drawer fronts
Fronts are made from moisture-resistant MDF and painted to your colour. Angled fronts are cut to follow the slope, keeping the lines neat.
Spray-painted finish
A spray-painted finish works well on every part of the storage. It is carried out in the workshop for an even coat. Any paint colour agreed with you can be used.
How fitting works for loft storage
When we arrive on fitting day, the first job is covering the floors and protecting the way in from the front door. Next, we carry in the sections made at our workshop, a piece at a time. The time the fitting takes depends on the length of the eaves and the design, and your quote sets out the fitting days. In a post-war block of flats, the route in may include communal stairs, landings and a lift, so eaves cupboards are made in sections sized for each. Tell us about any building rules on lifts or working hours at the design visit.
- 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.
- We fit the storage in the loft, trimming the edges so they meet the ceiling neatly.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about any meters, fuse boards or boilers in the area
- Take anything hanging off the wall we are fitting to
- Empty the space we’ll be working in

FAQs: loft storage in Roehampton
Is Roehampton in the area you cover for loft storage?
Yes, Roehampton is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Wandsworth and the rest of London. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, and then we send a quote.
I live near Barnes station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Wandsworth and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can get in touch through our contact form to arrange a design visit, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
What if my walls and floors are out of level?
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 it sits tight to the room.
Do I choose the paint colour?
You choose it. Spray and hand-painted finishes both use the colour you have chosen.
How long will the loft storage fitting take?
How long 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. Because everything is built in our workshop, the work in your home is the fitting itself. We work tidily and keep the stairs and landing as clear as we can.
What do you do at the measuring visit?
We measure the room, check how level the walls and floors are and go through the design with you. We will also ask about access and parking, and a written quote follows.
