Loft storage in The Hyde: what you get
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 The Hyde, it starts with a design visit to measure and talk it through. If you are living with ready-made wardrobes too big for the stairs and a boarded loft that’s hard to keep organised, eaves cupboards made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand can solve it.
An interwar house usually has a proper landing, sometimes with a recess or an airing cupboard, and that space can take shallow fitted storage. Around The Hyde, where interwar homes and semis are a big part of the housing, the landing is worth a look as well as the hall. If a boiler or cylinder sits there, it keeps its clearances and access.
You get the quote in writing, so you can read it at your own pace and talk it over at home. It covers the design, materials and finish agreed at the visit.

Pricing loft storage in The Hyde
We quote each job after the design visit, because no two rooms are the same. These are the things that affect it:
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
- How square the room is
- Doors and drawers, and how many
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. The price depends mainly on the size of the piece, how many doors and drawers it has and what goes inside.
What to send when you get in touch
Before the design visit, it helps us to know about:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The type of home and how the room is reached
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
To get a quote, drop us a line using the contact form and tell us a little about the room and what you want the furniture to do. From there, we arrange a design visit to measure up and talk through your ideas, and a written quote follows.
Common questions about loft storage
Do you cover homes near Hendon station?
Yes, homes across Barnet and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can drop us a line using the contact form with a few details about the room.
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in The Hyde?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. 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 the day can be planned around it.
How much does loft storage cost?
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. It depends on how much storage you want, the shape of the room and the finish. To get a quote, use our contact form and we’ll arrange a design visit.
What happens during the design visit?
We measure the space and discuss the design, materials and finish. We also check the walls and floors and note radiators, sockets and other things in the way, and the written quote comes afterwards.
Should I send photos?
Yes, they help. Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling, give us a good idea of the space. You can send them when you get in touch through our contact form.
How do you get large pieces into a loft?
Measuring the route is part of the design visit. Each section is made to fit the narrowest point, and the pieces are put together in the room.

How fitting works for loft storage
Once the main sections are fixed in place, we hang any doors and fit any drawers or lids. Each one is adjusted until the gaps are even and it closes cleanly, and then we check it all again. How long fitting takes depends on the length of the eaves and the design, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. If you have a driveway, it can make unloading simpler, so it is worth mentioning at the measuring visit. Otherwise, a visitor permit or a nearby bay helps. Floors and doorways are protected while the pieces come in.
- You get in touch and tell us about the loft and the stairs up to it.
- We visit to measure the loft and the way up, including the top flight and any tight turn. Let us know about parking too, as a van often needs a permit or a paid bay.
- We send a written quote.
- Everything is made at our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, in sections small enough for the loft stairs.
- The sections go up the stairs, are assembled under the eaves and set level.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture

When you need someone else
Not everything around loft storage is carpentry, such as an electrician, a plumber or a Gas Safe registered engineer. Here’s what to know:
- Insulation or ventilation work behind the eaves
- Building work to turn a loft into a room
- Building Regulations approval for a conversion

Practical tips
Because fitted furniture stays put, a little upkeep goes a long way. Here are a few tips worth knowing:
- Note any vents or insulation in the eaves
- Empty the eaves so we can see what’s behind
- Bring paint colours you like to the design visit
- Consider drawers for the deep, low spaces
Once the fitting is done, the storage is ready to use. New paintwork takes time to cure fully, so go easy on it to begin with. Avoid sticky tape, heavy knocks and harsh cleaners while it hardens.
Keep the eaves ventilated and avoid pressing things against the back of the space. Insulation pressed flat does not do its job. Damp in the eaves is worth raising with the people who did the conversion.
When is bespoke worth it?
Off-the-shelf cupboards come in fixed sizes, 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 run to the ceiling and fill the width.
Bespoke work comes into its own in rooms that aren’t square. Older London rooms tend to have leaning walls, sloping floors and alcoves of different widths.
Fitted storage in The Hyde
About 48% of the homes in the neighbourhood around The Hyde went up between 1919 and 1939, and about 26% since 2000, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. It’s a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. Near the centre of The Hyde, Historic England’s list includes Church of the Holy Innocents (Grade II), less than half a mile west, and Church of St John (Grade II), about 0.6 miles south-east. If your own home is listed, works inside that affect its character, like fixing into or removing original joinery, can need listed building consent. Check with the council’s conservation officer first. London’s red routes are run by TfL, and stopping on them is tightly controlled. If you live on or close to a main road in The Hyde, let us know during the design visit. It lets us plan the stop before fitting day.
If you live in a period home close to St Matthias the Apostle church, sloping ceilings in a loft room suit wardrobes cut to the angle. Close to West Hendon Playing Fields? Living near green space often means muddy boots, bikes and outdoor kit, and eaves cupboards can give those things a place. For a family home near The Hyde School, deep drawers suit the bulky things families collect, from scooters to swimming kit.
