About our loft storage in Strand-on-the-Green
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. Designed as one, they give the room calm, consistent lines. For a home in Strand-on-the-Green, it is planned around your things. If your home has wasted space behind the knee walls and clothes with nowhere to go in a loft bedroom, eaves cupboards made from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish can solve it.
Hallways in period terraces are often long and narrow, with the stairs rising along one wall. Around Strand-on-the-Green, a large share of homes date from before 1919, so depth matters as much as width wherever storage goes. Shallow units keep the way through clear.
Where other trades are needed, for instance an electrician to move a socket, we point that out. Our quote covers the carpentry: the design, the materials and the finish.

Caring for painted furniture
Looking after painted furniture is simple. These habits help most:
- Think about hanging space for a loft bedroom
- Let us know about parking near your home
- Note how narrow the loft stairs are
- Think about how you’ll reach into the eaves
Before we leave, we check every door and drawer with you. If there’s an access door to the eaves, we make sure it opens fully. You will know it all works as it should.
Every so often, look at the handles and hinges. Tightening early stops a small looseness getting worse. If a door drops or a drawer catches, message us from the contact page and tell us.
How fitting works for loft storage
On the morning of the fitting, the first job is covering the floors and protecting the way in from the front door. The sections made in our workshop come in next. The time the fitting takes depends on the length of the eaves and the design, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. In houses converted into flats, the route in may include a shared hall and stairs, so it helps to let neighbours know about fitting day. The sections are sized for the narrowest point on the route. Saturdays can be arranged.
- 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.
- A written quote follows, with the design, materials and finish.
- In our workshop we build each section from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood to follow the slope.
- On fitting day the units are set level and scribed to the slope and the knee wall.
How to prepare
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall
- Leave a clear route from the front door to the room
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day

Flats, conversions and lettings
If the property is let, we will need access agreed with the tenants, at times that suit them. An agent can arrange access for you.
In a managed block, the building manager or concierge may need notice before we arrive. Lifts sometimes need to be booked, and the lift size helps decide how big each section can be. Mention it when you contact us.
What prompts loft storage in Strand-on-the-Green
Most people get in touch because the eaves are going to waste. The low spaces at the edge of a loft room are hard to use. Cupboards and drawers built into the knee wall put it to work.
Requests we hear often include:
- A boarded loft with no proper shelving
- Standard furniture that won’t go up the loft stairs
- Clothes with nowhere to go in a loft bedroom
- A dormer that isn’t being used
Kew Palace, about 0.7 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. For a period home anywhere nearby, eaves cupboards in a converted loft are scribed to slopes that are rarely even.

Making use of awkward spaces in Strand-on-the-Green
About 48% of the homes in the streets around Strand-on-the-Green went up before 1919, and about 15% between 1919 and 1939, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. We take that into account at the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. There are 76 entries on the National Heritage List within half a mile of the centre of Strand-on-the-Green. Original fireplaces, shutters and panelling are worth keeping where they survive, and the furniture can be designed around them rather than over them. Red routes, run by TfL, have strict rules on stopping and loading. Where a home in Strand-on-the-Green is on or beside a main road, it is useful to mention that at the design visit. We can then plan where the van will stop.
If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, like Zoffany House, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. For a listed home, fixing into original features can require listed building consent. Close to Kew Green? Living near green space often means muddy boots, bikes and outdoor kit, and eaves cupboards can give those things a place.

Common questions about loft storage
My home in Strand-on-the-Green is a period house with walls that are not straight. Is that a problem?
Yes, that’s normal in older houses: each piece is scribed to the wall and levelled at the base. We also work around skirting boards, picture rails and cornices. Older walls can be solid brick or lath and plaster, and the fixings are chosen to suit.
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Chiswick station?
Yes. We cover all of Hounslow and the rest of London. To get started, you can fill in our short enquiry form with a few details about the room, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Which materials go into your loft storage?
We use moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood. The carcasses and drawer boxes are birch plywood, which is strong and holds screws well, while the doors and panels are MDF, which paints well. The finish is spray-painted or hand-painted.
How is loft storage priced?
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. The mix of cupboards, drawers and wardrobes, and the finish, all play a part. We set it all out in a quote in writing.
Will the storage fit up my loft stairs?
We measure the stairs and landings as well as the loft room. We size every section for the tightest turn, and then assembled in the loft.
What happens when you come to measure?
We take full measurements, look at the walls and floors and work through the design together. We’ll also ask about access and parking, and a quote in writing follows.
