What happens on fitting day
Fitting day follows a set order: floors are protected, the sections come in, everything is levelled, scribed to the walls, fixed and finished. Then the room is tidied and we look over the work with you. How long the fitting takes depends on how much storage you want in the loft, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. If you have a driveway, it can make unloading simpler, so let us know at the design visit. Otherwise, a visitor permit or a nearby bay helps. Floors and doorways are protected while the pieces come in.
- It starts with some details from you.
- At the design visit we measure up and agree the layout and colour.
- A quote in writing follows.
- We make the cupboards and drawers in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit it in the loft and check each door and drawer with you.
- Go easy on new paintwork while it cures; hand-painted surfaces are easy to touch up later.
Before fitting day
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
- Let us know about parking near your home
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

How we make loft storage for Sudbury
A loft room can hold a great deal of storage, if the low spaces are used well. Our loft storage includes eaves cupboards, knee-wall drawers, wardrobes under sloping ceilings and dormer shelving, each shaped to the room. For a home in Sudbury, it starts with a design visit to measure and talk it through. We make eaves cupboards from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted, and people most often get in touch about unused space in a dormer and nowhere to store bags and boxes.
Around Sudbury, with interwar houses or semis making up much of the housing, the hall is often wide enough for coat and shoe storage. Bay windows suit seating with drawers or lift-up lids, with a grille where there is a radiator underneath. Each space is measured and eaves cupboards are made to suit it.
Once you’ve read the quote and decided to go ahead, the furniture is made in our workshop. It describes the design, the materials and the finish agreed at the visit, so every detail can be checked first.

Flats, conversions and lettings
We also make and fit furniture for landlords furnishing a let, as it makes good use of an awkward room. The materials are the same as for any home: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
A lot of London’s terraced houses are now converted flats, which often brings a shared hall and tight turns on the stairs. We plan the size of each section around it.
Practical tips
Painted fitted furniture is easy to look after with a little care. These habits help most:
- Check the route up to the loft
- Make room so the whole loft can be measured
- Choose a calm colour for the loft
- Let us know about parking near your home
Keep the ventilation behind the eaves clear. The storage is planned to keep airflow, so leave that space open. It helps prevent damp behind the storage.
Every so often, look at the handles and hinges. A loose screw is easy to tighten before it works loose. If a door drops or a drawer catches, send us a few details through our contact form and tell us.
FAQs: loft storage in Sudbury
Do I need permission for fitted furniture in a conservation area?
Normally not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. If your home is listed, internal works that affect its character may need listed building consent, so check with the council first. The council’s planning or conservation team can tell you if in doubt.
I live near Sudbury & Harrow Road station. Is that in your area?
Yes. We cover all of Brent and the rest of London. You can send us a few details through our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Do I need to be in when you fit?
Someone needs to be there to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work, but it helps to be around at the end.
Do you carry out loft conversions?
No. Our work is storage in loft rooms that are already converted, or in boarded lofts. A conversion is building work, and Building Regulations apply. When the room is finished, we can plan the storage.
How do you get large pieces into a loft?
We make the storage in sections sized for the route. We measure the way up along with the room itself. It means a full wardrobe can still reach the room.
What if my walls and floors are out of level?
It’s something we deal with all the time. The furniture is scribed to follow the walls and levelled on feet or a plinth, so there are no gaps at the sides.
Making use of tricky spaces in Sudbury
Homes built between 1919 and 1939 make up about 53% of the housing in the neighbourhood around Sudbury, with about 12% built between 1973 and 1999, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. Sudbury is partly covered by a conservation area, according to Historic England’s records. The controls in a conservation area are mostly about the outside of buildings, so furniture fitted inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. If in doubt, the council’s planning team can confirm. More than half of the homes in the area around Sudbury (about 53%) date from between 1919 and 1939, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. Many interwar houses have had their lofts converted, leaving sloping ceilings and eaves to use.
If you live in a flat close to Sudbury & Harrow Road station, eaves cupboards are made in sections sized for the stairs, landings and lift, so measuring the route matters as much as measuring the room. If you live in a period home close to Church of St Andrew, the knee walls of a converted loft can take drawers as well as cupboards. For a family home near Sudbury Primary School, eaves cupboards can be planned around what a family needs to keep, from coats and bags to sports kit.

Near you in Sudbury
We fit furniture in homes around Orley Farm School and Wembley High Technology College and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in Sudbury itself: Sudbury & Harrow Road station. Well-known places in the area include Clementine Churchill Hospital (0.9 miles north-west) and London Designer Outlet (1.5 miles east). For a walk, there’s Perivale Wood.
What it costs
There’s no set price, because there’s no set room. What affects it comes down to:
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- The number of doors and drawers
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- Where a van can park, like a permit bay or a bay suspension
Access to the room makes a difference too. Narrow halls, tight stairs or a small lift may mean the furniture is made in more sections. Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design.
Getting in touch
You don’t need exact measurements or a plan. Just send what you can:
- Any ideas or images you’ve saved
- Rough measurements, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
- A few pictures of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
Photos help us understand the room before we visit. A few pictures showing the walls, the corners and where the ceiling meets them tell us a lot about the space, especially with rough sizes. To send them over, get in touch through our contact form, and we’ll suggest a time for a design visit.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Off-the-shelf pieces come in the maker’s finishes. Ours is spray-painted or hand-painted in a colour agreed with you, so it sits with the rest of the room. Off-the-shelf furniture comes in a few set depths, so they can stick out too far or waste space behind. With fitted furniture, the depth is chosen for the room.
The inside of the furniture affects the price as well: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers all add work. At the design visit, we work out what you need inside, and the quote follows.
