Loft storage across Croydon: what to expect
We build storage in lofts that are already converted or boarded. We do not carry out loft conversions, and Building Regulations apply to a conversion. Once the room is finished, we can design storage to suit it. In Croydon, it all begins with a design visit. We make eaves cupboards from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed, and people most often get in touch about a boarded loft with no proper shelving and a new loft conversion that needs storage.
In older rooms, the furniture typically has to meet skirting, picture rails, cornice or coving. On fitting day, we cut and scribe the furniture around these details, so it sits neatly against the room. The time the fitting takes depends on how much storage you want in the loft, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote.
- You tell us about the loft room.
- We come to measure and discuss the design and finish.
- Your written quote sets out the design, materials and finish.
- The storage is built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, and sprayed there if you chose a spray finish.
- 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.

Arranging a design visit
Photos help us understand the room before we visit. Pictures of the whole wall, the corners and the ceiling line tell us a lot about the space, especially with rough sizes. To share them, get in touch through our contact form, and we will arrange a design visit.

Loft storage for homes across Croydon
We make loft storage for homes across Croydon, in Thornton Heath, Coulsdon and Purley and beyond. Meters, fuse boards and boilers stay accessible, with the clearances their makers set out. Each wall is checked so the fixings suit it.
In Croydon, the largest groups of homes date from before 1919 (about 29%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 24%), going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. 6 of the 32 places in Croydon with their own pages here have their centre inside a conservation area, according to Historic England’s data. Conservation area controls are mostly concerned with the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission.
Getting furniture into a London home takes planning, from narrow halls to lifts and parking, so the way in is measured along with the room.
Thornton Heath: If your children go to Winterbourne Junior Girls' School or a school nearby, a place for each person’s coat and shoes stops the hallway filling up. If you live near Grangewood Park, living near green space often means muddy boots, bikes and outdoor kit, and eaves cupboards can give those things a place.
Materials and finishes
Doors and drawer fronts
The doors and drawer fronts are the face of the storage. They can be plain or panelled, with handles chosen to suit the room. They’re cut to follow the angle of the ceiling.
Spray-painted finish
For a crisp, even look, many people choose a spray-painted finish. It’s applied in our workshop, and the paint needs time to cure fully once fitted.
Pricing loft storage in Croydon
Several things affect the price:
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
- Where a van can park, like a permit bay or a bay suspension
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- How many doors and drawers there are
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 start, tell us about the room on our contact form.
Getting in touch
When you contact us, these help most:
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
- Examples of the look you are after
- Your postcode and the borough
- Approximate measurements of the space
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. Each room is different, so we quote after seeing it. To arrange a visit, get in touch through our contact form.
Practical tips
These points come up often when people plan loft storage. They help whatever the room:
- Empty the eaves so we can see what’s behind
- Count the clothes you will need to hang
- Find out what’s behind the eaves, from insulation to vents
- Let us know about parking near your home
We open each door and run each drawer with you before we go. Any access to the eaves is checked so it still opens. You will know it all works as it should.
Avoid overloading drawers so they keep running smoothly. A quick sort every so often helps. Heavy boxes are best kept low.
Flat-pack or bespoke?
Shop-bought shelves can sag over a long span. How much a shelf bends depends on its span, depth and load, and long runs need a thicker shelf, a lip along the front or a support. We design shelves with that in mind.
Flat-pack and off-the-shelf furniture has its place. In a room with square walls and standard sizes, it can work well, and it is easy to buy.
When you need someone else
It’s worth being clear about where our work stops:
- Adding or replacing insulation
- Building work to turn a loft into a room
- Anything that needs Building Regulations sign-off
Common questions about loft storage
Will cupboards in the eaves stop air moving?
Not when it is planned well. At the design visit we check what’s there and leave the space it needs. We don’t alter insulation or vents.
Do you cover areas outside London?
No. We work in London and nowhere else, across all the boroughs and the City of London.
How is loft storage priced?
Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit. It depends on how much storage you want, the shape of the room and the finish. To get a quote, tell us about the room on our contact form and we will arrange a design visit.
Does someone need to be home during the fitting?
We need access, so someone has to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can I send pictures ahead of the visit?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit, along with rough measurements. Show anything the furniture has to work around, such as radiators or sockets.
Do you cover Croydon?
Yes, we do. We work across Croydon.
What finishes do you offer?
You can choose between two finishes: spray painted or hand painted. A spray finish is smooth and even, while a hand-painted one is easy to touch up later.
