Loft storage across Ealing: what to expect
Behind the short walls at the edge of a loft room, there is often space going to waste. Eaves cupboards and pull-out drawers built into the knee wall put it to work. Drawers bring the back of the space within reach. At the design visit in Ealing, we’ll see what fits. 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 loft room that doubles as an office or guest room and a dormer that isn’t being used.
At the end, we tidy up. Before we go, we look over the finished furniture with you. How long fitting takes depends on the shape of the room and the number of cupboards and drawers, and your quote sets out the fitting days.
- You contact us about storage in your converted loft.
- 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.
- A quote in writing follows, covering the design, materials and finish.
- We build the storage in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, sized to get up to the loft.

Fitted storage across Ealing
Homes across Ealing are full of odd corners, from stair voids to loft eaves. Eaves cupboards are drawn up for the space you have, then made at our workshop and fitted.
About 30% of the homes in Ealing went up between 1919 and 1939, and about 28% before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). It is a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. Around a third of the homes in Ealing (about 30%) date from between 1919 and 1939, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Many interwar houses have had their lofts converted, leaving sloping ceilings and eaves to use; we build the storage once the loft is converted or boarded. 4 of the 19 places in Ealing 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 does not normally need planning permission.
Getting furniture into a London home takes planning, from narrow halls to lifts and parking, so we look at both at the measuring visit.
Ealing: The wider area includes historic houses such as Pitzhanger Manor, about 0.1 miles east. If your own home is a period one, the low eaves and slopes of a converted loft are worth using. For a flat near Ealing Broadway station, check any building rules on lifts and working hours early, and the sections will be sized for the way in.
Caring for painted furniture
The finish lasts best with a little care. Here are our suggestions:
- Check the route up to the loft
- Make a list of what you want to store in the eaves
- Choose a calm colour for the loft
- Let us know about parking near your home
Do not pack things so tightly that air cannot move behind the knee wall. Leave the gaps we’ve designed in. It helps keep the loft in good order.
Keep the eaves ventilated and avoid pressing things against the back of the space. Squashed insulation works less well. Damp in the eaves is worth raising with the people who did the conversion.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
A standalone wardrobe can go with you when you move. Fitted storage stays with the house, and it uses the slopes in a way a standalone piece can’t. The right choice depends on how long you plan to stay.
What to check before you book
- Will the quote be in writing?
- How the furniture will be finished, and where
- Whether they measure the room themselves
- How doors and drawers are fitted
Why people ask for loft storage in Ealing
Some people have a boarded loft and want proper shelving. Shelves and cupboards keep things off the floor and easy to find. It’s ideal for things you need now and then.
We’re often asked to help with:
- No wardrobe that fits under the slope
- A converted loft with no fitted furniture
- Seasonal things cluttering the loft room
- A boarded loft that’s hard to keep organised
Flat-pack or bespoke?
Shop-bought shelves can sag over a long span. Span, depth and the weight on it decide whether a shelf sags, so a long run needs a thicker shelf, a stiffening lip or a support. That’s something we plan for in the design.
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’s quick to buy.
Boards, parts and paint
Moisture-resistant MDF
A loft room can see more change in temperature than other rooms, so a stable material matters. It gives a smooth base for paint. It is used for most of the visible parts.
Pull-out drawers
Drawers that pull out make the eaves easy to use. Everything is in view when the drawer is open. They’re designed around any access points behind the knee wall.
Your questions about loft storage in Ealing
What materials do you use for loft storage?
Our loft storage is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, then painted. Stable materials suit a loft, where temperatures can vary. The materials and finish are agreed in your quote.
How is loft storage priced?
There’s no price list: each design is priced in writing after we’ve seen the space. The mix of cupboards, drawers and wardrobes, and the finish, all play a part. We set it all out in a quote in writing.
Will you paint the walls around the furniture?
No. We make, fit and finish the furniture, and plastering and decorating are for other trades. The furniture itself is spray painted or hand painted.
Do I choose the paint colour?
You choose it, and it is agreed with you before painting. Spray and hand-painted finishes both use the colour you’ve chosen.
Do I need planning permission for fitted furniture?
Not typically. Conservation area controls are mainly about the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. In a listed building, check with the council’s conservation officer before any work.
Can the fitting be on a Saturday?
Yes, we can arrange Saturdays. Let us know when you first get in touch, and we’ll see what we can do.
Can you convert my loft as well?
No. We don’t carry out loft conversions. Our part is the storage once the loft is a finished room, including eaves cupboards, knee-wall drawers and wardrobes.
