Loft storage for your home in West Wickham
Fitting day, step by step
Every fitting follows the same order: we protect the floors, bring the sections in, set them level, scribe them to the walls, fix them and finish them. At the end, we tidy up and go over the work with you. How long the fitting takes depends on the shape of the room and the number of cupboards and drawers, and your quote sets out the fitting days. If you have a driveway, it can make unloading simpler, so let us know at the measuring visit. Otherwise, a visitor permit or a nearby bay helps. Doorways, stairs and floors are covered on the way in.
- It starts when you get in touch about storage in your loft, whether it’s a converted room or a boarded space.
- We visit to measure and look at what’s behind the knee walls, and talk through the design with you.
- Your quote sets out the design, the materials and the finish.
- Your storage is made in our workshop, shaped to the loft, from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit it in your home and leave it ready to use, with the doors and drawers checked with you.
How to prepare
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
- Clear the area where the furniture is going
- Have your electrician move any sockets or switches beforehand
Ask for a quote
A quote begins with a few details from you: which room it is, rough sizes and a couple of pictures if you can take them. To send them, drop us a line using the contact form. We will then arrange a design visit and follow it with a written quote.

About our loft storage in West Wickham
The low space behind a knee wall is often the most useful in the room. Eaves cupboards and pull-out drawers built into the knee wall put it to work. Pull-out drawers mean you do not have to crawl in. At the design visit in West Wickham, we’ll see what fits. We make eaves cupboards from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted, and the things people most often want solved are a boarded loft with no proper shelving and an empty dormer that could hold shelves.
An interwar house typically has a proper landing, sometimes with a recess or an airing cupboard, which can hold fitted storage for linen and spare bedding. Around West Wickham, 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.
The furniture is made in our workshop after you’ve had the quote and decided to go ahead. It describes the design, the materials and the finish agreed at the visit, so every detail can be checked first.

Why people ask for loft storage in West Wickham
Standard wardrobes do not fit under a sloping ceiling. A wardrobe made for the slope uses the full height. It’s a common need in a loft bedroom.
If any of these sound familiar, it is worth getting in touch:
- Low eaves that nobody can use
- Ready-made wardrobes too big for the stairs
- Boxes and suitcases with no home
- No wardrobe that fits under the slope
If your home is one of the older houses near St Francis of Assisi, the low eaves and slopes of a converted loft are worth using.
Choosing a carpenter
- How they’ll get the furniture into the room
- Will other trades be needed, and who arranges them?
- A written quote that sets out the job
- Whether they measure the room themselves
Before and after fitting day
Because fitted furniture stays put, a little upkeep goes a long way. A few pointers help:
- Make a list of what you want to store in the eaves
- Measure the loft stairs, the turns and the landing
- Count the clothes you will need to hang
- Choose a calm colour for the loft
Before we leave, we check every door and drawer with you. Any access to the eaves is checked so it still opens. You will know it all works as it should.
Loft rooms can be warm in summer and cool in winter. Keep the room ventilated. It helps the storage stay in good condition.
Your questions about loft storage in West Wickham
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in West Wickham?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. 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. Let us know what parking is near you at the design visit.
I live near West Wickham station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Bromley and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can send us a few details through our contact form with a few details about the room, and tell us about parking and access at the same time.
Do I need permission in a conservation area?
Not usually. Conservation area controls are mainly about the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different: check with the council’s conservation officer first.
Do you carry out loft conversions?
No. Our work is storage in loft rooms that are already converted, or in boarded lofts. Loft conversions are building work, with Building Regulations to follow. When the room is finished, we can plan the storage.
Can the fitting be on a Saturday?
Yes, by arrangement. If a Saturday works better for you, say so when you get in touch.
Will eaves storage block the ventilation?
A good design avoids that. At the design visit we check what’s there and leave the space it needs. We don’t alter insulation or vents.
Fitted storage in West Wickham
About 63% of the homes in the neighbourhood around West Wickham went up between 1919 and 1939, and about 24% between 1945 and 1972, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. We take that into account at the measuring visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. There are 5 entries on the National Heritage List within half a mile of the centre of West Wickham. Being near listed buildings doesn’t make a home listed, and you can check any address on Historic England’s list. Each London borough runs its own parking controls, and Bromley is no exception. Depending on your street in West Wickham, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a council bay suspension may be needed. We ask about parking at the design visit, so we can plan the day around it.
For families living near Oak Lodge Primary School, eaves cupboards can give school bags, shoes and sports kit a proper home. If you live near Millers Pond, eaves cupboards can be designed to hold outdoor kit, from walking boots to picnic things.

Design visits and fitting in BR4, CR0 and BR3 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Our area takes in homes on streets such as Ash Road, Kent Road and Oak Avenue, whether you want loft storage or another piece made for the room. We also cover the places around West Wickham: Coney Hall (1 mile south), Spring Park (1 mile west), Eden Park (1 mile north), Hayes (1 mile east) and Addington (1 mile south). Elsewhere in Bromley, we also cover Orpington (5 miles east), Bromley (2 miles north-east), Beckenham (2 miles north), St Mary Cray (6 miles east), Chislehurst (4 miles north-east) and Penge (3 miles north-west).
Around West Wickham
We fit furniture in homes around The Wheatsheaf pub and Langley Park School for Girls and the streets around them. West Wickham has its own railway station: West Wickham station. Well-known places in the area include National Psychosis Unit (0.6 miles north-west).
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Loft walls are rarely straight, and floors are often out of level. Standard furniture leaves visible gaps. We scribe our storage to the slopes and walls, and set it level. In an extended or opened-up house, old and new walls often meet slightly out of line, which shows up against standard furniture. Fitted pieces are scribed to both.
Because every job is different, the cost is set out in a written quote after the visit. Size, the number of doors and drawers and the internal fittings make the biggest difference to the price.
