Loft storage in Lewisham: how it works
Getting furniture up to a loft room is part of the planning. At the design visit, we measure the stairs and landings as well as the loft, so the sections we make in our workshop can be carried up. It is part of the job for any loft room in Lewisham. We make eaves cupboards from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted, and people most often get in touch about a loft room with too many jobs and a new loft conversion that needs storage.
When the fitting is done, we tidy the room and lift the floor protection. Before we leave, we go over the finished piece together and answer any questions. How long fitting takes depends on how much storage you want in the loft, and your quote sets out the fitting days.
- You get in touch and describe the loft room, its slopes and any dormer.
- At the design visit we measure the knee walls and the angle of each slope at more than one point, as they’re rarely even.
- A written quote follows, with the design, materials and finish.
- The storage is made in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, cut to the angles we measured.
- On fitting day the units are set level and scribed to the slope and the knee wall.
What affects the price in Lewisham
There’s no price list, because every piece is designed for one room. We measure up, discuss the design and send a written quote, with the materials and finish set out. To start, drop us a line using the contact form.

Starting with a design visit
It is useful 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, along with rough measurements. To send them over, fill in our short enquiry form, and we will arrange a design visit.
Around New Cross
In New Cross, that includes homes near Laban Centre, Fordham Park and St. Paul's, among other places. You’ll also find Myatt Garden Primary School (a few minutes’ walk south-east), Addey and Stanhope School (less than half a mile north-east), Wickham Arms (within half a mile south) and St James's Church (less than half a mile north-west). New Cross has its own railway station: New Cross station. A little further out are Lewisham Shopping Centre (1.1 miles south-east) and Miller General Hospital (0.6 miles north-east). Not far away are New Cross Gate Cutting.
Tricky spaces in homes across Lewisham
From New Cross, St Johns and Deptford to the quieter streets, homes across Lewisham have tricky spaces worth using. It could be beneath the stairs, in a window bay, in a hallway or in the eaves. The furniture is made for the space you have.
The biggest shares of homes in Lewisham were built before 1919 (about 36%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 18%), in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. We take that into account at the measuring visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. 6 of the 22 places in Lewisham 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. Controlled parking zones cover much of inner London, so tell us about parking during the design visit, and we’ll plan the van around it.
We cover the whole of London, so homes in Lewisham are well within our area. Let us know about access and parking when you first get in touch.
New Cross: If you live in a period home close to St James's Church, sloping ceilings in a loft room suit wardrobes cut to the angle. If your children go to Myatt Garden Primary School or a school nearby, eaves cupboards can give school bags, shoes and sports kit a proper home.
Is bespoke worth it?
If you only need a few boxes in a boarded loft, standalone shelving may be enough. A fitted design earns its place in a loft room you live in. At the design visit, we’ll tell you honestly which approach suits your loft.
Before you hire any carpenter
- Do they scribe the furniture to the walls?
- Will the quote be in writing?
- Whether the quote says what the furniture is made from
- Will other trades be needed, and who arranges them?
Materials and finishes
Doors and drawer fronts
The doors and drawer fronts are the face of the storage. We make them plain or panelled, with handles to match. Their tops follow the line of the slope.
Plinths and scribe strips
Loft floors are often out of level. A plinth or adjustable feet let us set the storage level, so the doors and drawers run true.
Honest limits
Electrics, plumbing, gas, plastering and structural work aren’t part of what we do. There are a few other points to bear in mind:
- Building work to turn a loft into a room
- Anything that needs Building Regulations sign-off
- Altering the structure of the loft
Do you need loft storage?
Standard wardrobes don’t fit under a sloping ceiling. A wardrobe made for the slope uses the full height. It is often the main reason people get in touch about a loft bedroom.
Here are some of the needs we’re asked about most:
- A converted loft with no fitted furniture
- Unused space in a dormer
- Wasted space behind the knee walls
- Needing storage in a loft office
What affects the price in Lewisham
To work out the quote, we look at:
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- How square the room is
- Where a van can park, such as a permit bay or a bay suspension
- Doors and drawers, and how many
No two rooms cost the same to furnish, because the size, the layout and the finish all vary. Spray painting and hand painting are different processes, which affects the cost. You’ll see the figure in your written quote, after the design visit.
Getting in touch
To help us picture the room, please include:
- The type of home and how the room is reached
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- Rough measurements, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- Where you live, with the postcode
If you know what you want, say so; if not, we can work it out together at the visit. At the design visit, we measure up and talk the design through with you, and the written quote then sets it out. To start, message us from the contact page.
Your questions about loft storage in Lewisham
Can you get furniture up narrow loft stairs?
Measuring the route is part of the design visit. We size every section for the tightest turn, and then assembled in the loft.
Do you carry out loft conversions?
No. Our work is storage in loft rooms that are already converted, or in boarded lofts. A conversion is building work, and Building Regulations apply. Once your loft is converted, we can design the storage.
Do you work in Lewisham?
Yes. We design and make loft storage for homes in Lewisham.
Do you make good the walls afterwards?
No. Our work is the furniture, not the walls, so any work on the walls is for a plasterer or decorator. We finish the furniture itself, as set out in your quote.
Can you fit furniture to uneven walls?
It’s something we deal with all the time. The furniture is scribed to follow the walls and levelled on feet or a plinth.
Is the furniture made to order?
It’s built in our workshop, to the sizes taken during the design visit. Then we bring it to your home and fit it.
Does someone need to be home during the fitting?
Someone needs to be there to let us in. After that, you do not need to stay in the room, though we like to go over the furniture with you at the end.
