Fitting day, step by step
If anything comes up on the day, just ask. The design, materials and finish were settled before anything was made, so the day itself is about careful fitting and leaving everything tidy. The time the fitting takes depends on the length of the eaves and the design, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Newer developments sometimes have their own parking and loading rules, so let us know what applies during the design visit. The furniture comes in sections and is fixed in place. Saturdays can be arranged.
- You let us know about the loft room.
- We come to measure and go through the design and finish.
- A quote in writing follows.
- The storage is made in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, and sprayed there if you chose a spray finish.
- We fit it in the loft and check each door and drawer with you.
- Fresh paint needs time to cure, so use the doors and drawers gently at first.
Before fitting day
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
- Clear the walls of pictures and shelves
- Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician beforehand

Advice
Loft storage for homes in Stratford
A converted loft often has more storage space than it first seems. We design and make eaves cupboards, drawers in the knee walls, wardrobes under the slopes and shelves in dormers, each shaped to the room. For a home in Stratford, it starts with a design visit to measure and talk it through. If your home has a new loft conversion that needs storage and a sloping ceiling with no room for a wardrobe, eaves cupboards made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand can solve it.
In a home built since 2000, there are often spaces the builder left plain, like a recess, a landing corner or an empty cupboard. Around Stratford, many homes were built since 2000, and fitted storage can make spaces like that far more useful. Drawers and shelves can make use of the full depth.
A quote in writing is the clearest record of what we have agreed. It describes the eaves cupboard we have designed for the room, what it is made from and how it is finished.

Looking after your furniture
A few practical points help before and after fitting day. These are worth keeping in mind:
- Consider drawers for the deep, low spaces
- Mention any parking rules on your street
- Look at the insulation and any vents behind the knee wall
- Count the clothes you will need to hang
Once the fitting is done, the storage is ready to use. Paint needs time to cure fully, so treat the new finish gently at first. Avoid sticky tape, heavy knocks and harsh cleaners while it hardens.
Avoid overloading drawers so they keep running smoothly. It’s useful to clear out now and then. Heavy boxes are best kept low.
FAQs: loft storage in Stratford
I live in a flat in Stratford. How will the furniture get up the stairs?
At the design visit, we measure the way in along with the room itself. The furniture is made in sections that fit the stairs and lift, and put together in the room. It’s useful to check any building rules and your lease before fitting day.
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Stratford (London) station?
Yes. We cover all of Newham and the rest of London. To get started, you can message us from the contact page with some details about the room.
Who chooses the colour?
You choose it. Spray and hand-painted finishes both use the colour you have chosen.
How is the furniture painted?
There are two choices: a spray finish from the workshop, which is smooth and even, or hand painting, which can be done in your home. The finish is agreed in your quote.
My walls aren’t straight. Is that a problem?
That is normal in older homes, and it is what scribing is for. We scribe the edges to follow the wall and set the furniture level on adjustable feet or a plinth.
Is an outside wall a problem for fitted furniture?
It can be done with some care: leaving ventilation behind and inside helps stop condensation. Damp treatment isn’t something we do, so any damp needs sorting first.
Flats, leases and landlords
If your flat is leasehold, check your lease before fixing furniture to the walls. Some leases need the building owner’s consent for alterations, which is worth sorting early. We cannot give advice on leases, so check it yourself or ask your managing agent.
Landlords furnishing a let use fitted furniture too, often to make the most of a small or tricky room. The materials are the same as for any home: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
Stratford homes and loft storage
In the neighbourhood around Stratford, the largest groups of homes date from the years since 2000 (about 55%) and before 1919 (about 19%), according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). That matters for eaves cupboards, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. Within a mile of the centre of Stratford, 4 conservation areas are recorded by Historic England. England has around 10,000 in all, and their controls are mostly concerned with the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. About 55% of homes in the neighbourhood around Stratford were built since 2000, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. In a newer house with a converted loft, the space under the slopes can be used; we build once the loft is converted or boarded.
If you live in a period home close to Church of St John the Evangelist, a dormer in a converted loft can hold shelves or a small desk. If you live in a flat close to Stratford (London) station, it is useful to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day.
Stratford is about 2 miles south-east of Plaistow, within the London Borough of Newham. We cover Stratford as part of our work across Newham, and the process is the same everywhere we work. Stratford is one of the places in Newham where we make loft storage.
Every address in E15, E20 and E3 is within our area for loft storage, from the main roads to the quieter streets. Our area takes in homes on streets such as Gay Road, Cam Road and Eve Road, along with the roads around them, for loft storage and any of our other fitted furniture. Nearby, we also make loft storage in Maryland (1 mile east), East Village (1 mile north-west), Temple Mills (1 mile north-west), West Ham (1 mile south-east) and Hackney Wick (1 mile west). Elsewhere in Newham, we also cover Plaistow (2 miles south-east), Canning Town (2 miles south-east), East Ham (3 miles east), Upton Park (2 miles east), Greengate (2 miles south-east) and Plashet (2 miles east). Stratford is among the bigger places we cover in Newham.
What’s near Stratford
Our area takes in the homes around The Two Puddings pub, Sarah Bonnell School and Carpenters Primary School and the streets around them. There is a railway station in Stratford itself: Stratford (London) station. Well-known places in the area include V&A East (0.5 miles west) and Stratford Centre (under half a mile south-east). Not far away are Old Ford Island.
The problems loft storage solve
A boarded loft can be made far more useful with shelving. Storage in a boarded loft keeps everything organised. It’s ideal for things you need now and then.
Loft storage can help with:
- A new loft conversion that needs storage
- A loft room that doubles as an office or guest room
- A dormer that isn’t being used
- Ready-made wardrobes too big for the stairs
Near listed buildings like The Theatre Royal, less than half a mile east of the centre of Stratford, older homes may keep original joinery that eaves cupboards can be designed around. For a listed home, fixing into original features can require listed building consent.

Materials and finishes
Pull-out drawers
The space behind a knee wall is deep and low, so drawers that slide out are often the answer. Everything is in view when the drawer is open. They’re designed around any access points behind the knee wall.
Plinths and scribe strips
In a loft room, walls, slopes and floors are rarely straight. We use scribe strips and a plinth to take up the difference. The result is neat, even lines all round.
