Loft storage for your home in Wimbledon Park
Flat-pack or bespoke?
Cost matters, and it is fair to say so: flat-pack is usually cheaper to buy. Bespoke makes more sense where the room is awkward, the space is valuable or you want the furniture to look built in.
Where bespoke earns its keep is in rooms that aren’t square. In period homes, walls lean, floors slope and the alcoves on each side are often different widths, which leaves standard units with gaps at the sides and top.
About our loft storage in Wimbledon Park
Loft rooms are often bedrooms, so storage for clothes matters. A wardrobe under the slope, knee-wall drawers and dormer shelves make a complete set. Planned together, they make the room feel ordered. For a home in Wimbledon Park, it is planned around your things. We make eaves cupboards from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted, and people most often get in touch about wasted space behind the knee walls and seasonal things cluttering the loft room.
Across London, neighbouring streets can be decades apart in age, so the awkward spaces vary too: a bay, the space under the stairs, a hallway recess or the eaves of a converted loft. The furniture is made for the space as it is. Any meters, fuse boards or boilers stay accessible.
Materials are named in the quote: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, each used where it suits the job. The finish is stated too, whether that’s spray painting or hand painting.

What else we make in Wimbledon Park
What it costs
The price for your room depends on:
- The number of doors and drawers
- How big the furniture is
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
How it is painted is part of the price: spray painting is done in the workshop, while hand painting can be done on site. Your choice, along with the size and the fittings, is reflected in the written quote.
Helping us understand the room
When you contact us, these help most:
- A few pictures of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What the furniture needs to hold
- Rough measurements: width, height and depth
It helps to see the room before we come. Pictures of the whole wall, the corners and the ceiling line give us a good feel for the space, especially with rough measurements. To send them over, tell us about the room on our contact form, and we will arrange a design visit.
FAQs: loft storage in Wimbledon Park
Do I need permission for fitted furniture in a conservation area?
Not normally. Conservation area controls are mainly about the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different, as works inside that affect their character may need listed building consent from the council. The council’s planning or conservation team can tell you if in doubt.
Do you cover homes near Earlsfield station?
Yes, homes across Merton and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can get in touch through our contact form with some details about the room.
What are your eaves cupboards made from?
Our loft storage is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, then painted. Stable materials suit a loft, where temperatures can vary. Your quote confirms the materials and finish.
My walls are not straight. Is that a problem?
Uneven walls are normal in older London homes, and the furniture is made to deal with them. We scribe the edges to follow the wall and set the furniture level on adjustable feet or a plinth.
Can you add sockets inside the units?
No. Electrical work isn’t something we do; it is a job for your electrician. We can allow for cable routes in the design.
Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?
There are two ways to finish it: by spray or by hand. A spray finish is smooth and even, while a hand-painted one is easy to touch up later.
Storage in Wimbledon Park homes: local notes
The biggest shares of homes in the neighbourhood around Wimbledon Park were built before 1919 (about 42%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 19%), according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. Wimbledon Park is partly covered by the Wimbledon North 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 does not normally need planning permission. Your council can advise if you’re unsure. More than a third of the homes in the neighbourhood around Wimbledon Park (about 42%) were built before 1919, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. Many older terraces have had loft conversions, leaving eaves spaces and slopes that suit fitted storage; we build storage once the loft is converted or boarded.
Southside House, about 1.8 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. For a period home anywhere nearby, a dormer in a converted loft can hold shelves or a small desk. For a family home near Albemarle Primary School, deep drawers suit the bulky things families collect, from scooters to swimming kit. If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, like The Old Rectory House, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. For a listed home, fixing into original features may need listed building consent.
Wimbledon Park is part of the London Borough of Merton, about 1 mile south of Wimbledon. We can visit homes in Wimbledon Park on weekdays, or on a Saturday by arrangement. We cover places right across Merton.
Design visits and fitting in SW19 and SW18 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Our area takes in homes on streets like Dora Road, Church Road and Arthur Road, whether you want loft storage or another piece made for the room. Wimbledon Park is near the A218, so if your home is on a main road, mention it when you get in touch. Close by, we also work in Wimbledon (1 mile south), Crooked Billet (1 mile south-west), Copse Hill (2 miles south-west), Merton Park (2 miles south) and Wimbledon Chase (2 miles south). We also make loft storage in nearby places such as Colliers Wood (2 miles south-east), Morden (3 miles south), Eastfields (3 miles south-east), Merton Abbey (2 miles south-east), Bushey Mead (2 miles south) and Mitcham (3 miles south-east).
Local landmarks in Wimbledon Park
We fit furniture in homes around Ricards Lodge High School, Leather Bottle pub and Linden Lodge School and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Earlsfield station, about 1 mile north-east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Southside Wandsworth (1.4 miles north-east) and Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum (within half a mile west). For a walk, there is Wandle Meadow Nature Park and Henman Hill.
Caring for painted furniture
Because fitted furniture stays put, a little upkeep goes a long way. Here are a few tips worth knowing:
- Find out what’s behind the eaves, from insulation to vents
- Let us know about parking near your home
- Choose a calm colour for the loft
- Count the clothes you will need to hang
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.
Check now and then that handles and hinges are tight. Tightening early stops a small looseness getting worse. If something stops working smoothly, use our contact form and describe it.
What happens on fitting day
There isn’t much for you to do on fitting day. We need someone to let us in at the start, and the room should already be cleared. From there, we protect the floors, bring the furniture in and get on with the fitting. How long the fitting takes depends on how much storage you want in the loft, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. For a flat, building rules and lift booking are worth checking early; for a house, steps, paths and parking are the things to mention. Either way, the day is planned during the design visit. Saturdays can be arranged.
- It starts when you contact us about storage in your loft.
- At the design visit, we look at the slopes, the eaves and the way up.
- Your quote sets out the design, the materials and the finish. You can ask us about any of it.
- Your storage is made at our workshop, shaped to the loft.
- We fit it in your home and leave it ready to use.
Preparing the room
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
- Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician ahead of time
Starting with a design visit
You don’t need exact measurements to get started. Everything is measured properly when we visit, including how level the floor and ceiling are. To get started, tell us about the room on our contact form and let us know about the room. You receive a written quote after the visit.

Materials and finishes
Doors and drawer fronts
We make the fronts from moisture-resistant MDF and finish them in the colour you choose. The angled fronts match the ceiling, keeping the lines neat.
Birch plywood
Birch plywood is made in layers, which makes it strong and stable. It goes into the carcasses, the shelves and the drawers, and its edge can be left visible or painted.
