About our loft storage in Tulse Hill
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. In Tulse Hill, as everywhere we work, it begins with a visit to measure and plan. If you’re living with an empty dormer that could hold shelves and needing storage in a loft office, eaves cupboards made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed can solve it.
With a large share of homes around Tulse Hill built before 1919, under-stairs cupboards in older terraces often house the meters or the fuse board. Meter readers and engineers need to get to them, so the design keeps them accessible. Sash and bay windows are common in houses of that age too, and good places for seating with storage below.

How we price loft storage
There’s no set price, because there is no set room. The things that affect it are:
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- The width and height of the space
- What goes inside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers
- Where a van can park, such as a permit bay or a bay suspension
There is no price list, because each job is designed for a single room. Instead, we measure, discuss the design and then quote in writing, with the materials and finish set out. To arrange a design visit, get in touch through our contact form.
What we need to know
To help us picture the room, please include:
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
- A few pictures of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- The type of home and how the room is reached
- Anything in the way, like radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
There’s no price list: each design is priced in writing after we’ve seen the space. Each room is different, so we quote after seeing it. To arrange a visit, message us from the contact page.
The problems loft storage solve
A sloping ceiling makes a standard wardrobe impossible. A wardrobe made for the slope uses the full height. It is a common need in a loft bedroom.
Requests we hear often include:
- Boxes piled on loft boards
- Clothes with nowhere to go in a loft bedroom
- Wasted space behind the knee walls
- A dormer that isn’t being used
If you live in a flat close to Tulse Hill station, it helps to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day.
Before you hire any carpenter
- Whether they can show you real projects they’ve done
- Have they thought about parking near you?
- Will they visit to measure before quoting?
- Are the boards named, such as MDF or plywood?
Fitted storage in Tulse Hill
Homes built before 1919 make up about 46% of the housing in the streets around Tulse Hill, with about 23% built between 1945 and 1972, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. That matters for eaves cupboards, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. Tulse Hill is partly covered by the Brockwell Park Conservation Area, one of the conservation areas recorded by Historic England. Conservation area controls are mainly about the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. If in doubt, the council’s planning team can confirm. About 46% of homes in the area around Tulse Hill were built before 1919, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Many older terraces have had loft conversions, leaving eaves spaces and slopes that suit fitted storage.
Near listed buildings like Christ Church, about 0.5 miles west of the centre of Tulse Hill, older homes may keep original joinery that eaves cupboards can be designed around. If your own home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original features. If you live near Belair Park, eaves cupboards can be designed to hold outdoor kit, from walking boots to picnic things.
Tulse Hill is part of the London Borough of Lambeth, about 2 miles north of Stockwell. Anywhere in Tulse Hill, it works the same way: we visit and measure, send a written quote, make the furniture in our workshop and fit it. Our work takes in places right across Lambeth, from the busiest high streets to quiet residential roads.
Postcode districts we cover here for loft storage: SW2, SE24 and SE27. Our area takes in homes on streets such as Ostade Road, Medora Road and Palace Road, along with the roads around them, whether you want loft storage or another piece made for the room. Main roads around Tulse Hill include the A204. If your home is on one of them, tell us during the design visit, as some main roads have strict stopping rules. Other places close to Tulse Hill include Streatham Hill (1 mile south-west), Brixton (1 mile north-west), Clapham Park (1 mile north-west), Hyde farm estate (1 mile west) and Streatham (1 mile south-west). We also make loft storage in nearby places like Stockwell (2 miles north), Kennington (3 miles north), North Brixton (2 miles north), Little Portugal (2 miles north), Clapham (2 miles north-west) and South Bank (4 miles north).
What’s near Tulse Hill
Our area takes in the homes around Tulse Hill School, Fenstanton Primary School and The Commercial pub and the streets around them. Tulse Hill has its own railway station: Tulse Hill station. A little further out are Clockworks Museum (0.9 miles south) and Dulwich Community Hospital (1.5 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Knight's Hill.
Fitting day, step by step
Finishing comes last. With a spray finish from the workshop, there’s typically only filling and touching up to do in the room; if you chose hand painting, that can be done in the room once the furniture is fitted. Either way, the finish is the one set out in your quote. On fitting day in an older house, the main job is scribing to walls and levelling on floors that slope, so there is some trimming and adjusting on site. We protect the floors and keep dust to a minimum. Parking can be tight on terraced streets, so let us know about permits and bays during the design visit.
- You get in touch with some details about the loft room.
- We visit to measure and look at what’s behind the knee walls.
- Your quote sets out the design, the materials and the finish. You can ask us about any of it.
- We make the cupboards and drawers in our workshop, cut to the slope, from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit it in your home and leave it ready to use.
Before fitting day
- Empty the space we’ll be working in
- Take anything hanging off the wall we are fitting to
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
How to get a quote
You do not need exact measurements to get started. Everything is measured properly when we visit, along with the walls, floor and ceiling. To arrange it, fill in our short enquiry form and tell us about the room. The written quote follows the visit.

Questions we’re often asked
I live near Tulse Hill station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Lambeth and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can fill in our short enquiry form to arrange a design visit, and tell us about parking and access at the same time.
My home in Tulse Hill is a period house with walls that are not straight. Is that a problem?
Yes, that is normal in older houses: each piece is scribed to the wall and levelled at the base. Skirting, picture rails and cornices are met neatly or cut around. Fixings are chosen for the wall, whether solid brick or lath and plaster.
What if the wall is cold or damp?
It needs a little planning: leaving ventilation behind and inside helps stop condensation. We don’t treat damp, so any damp should be sorted before fitting day.
Do photos help?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit, along with rough sizes. It helps to show radiators, sockets and anything else on the wall.
How do you get large pieces into a loft?
Measuring the route is part of the design visit. We size every section for the tightest turn, and then assembled in the loft.
Do I get to choose the colour?
You choose it. Whichever finish you pick, it’s in the colour you have chosen.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Cost matters, and it’s fair to say so: flat-pack is typically cheaper to buy. Bespoke makes more sense where the room is tricky, the space is valuable or you want the furniture to look built in.
A confident DIYer can manage simple shelves or a standard wardrobe in a square room. Sloping ceilings, uneven floors and lath-and-plaster walls make it harder.
Flats, conversions and lettings
If you live in a flat, getting the furniture in is planned from the start. We measure the stairs, landings, lift and doorways as well as the room, so the furniture can be made in sections that fit through without a struggle.
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, with a spray or hand-painted finish.
