What we do
The one place freestanding furniture cannot go, and where made-to-measure earns its keep.
A loft conversion is the single most storage-hungry room in the house and the single hardest to furnish. Sloped ceilings, knee walls, dormer recesses and awkward pitches make freestanding wardrobes impossible and off-the-shelf units almost useless.
Made-to-measure loft storage solves the problem in one pass. Cabinet sides are cut to the exact roof angle so the wardrobe sits floor-to-ceiling under the pitch. Knee-wall drawers and pull-out shoe racks turn the dead triangle behind the dwarf wall into usable storage. Dormer recesses are treated as their own wardrobe run.
We survey the finished loft after plastering and flooring are complete, then design the storage around the exact angles and dimensions of your specific conversion, no two lofts are the same.
Who it's for
Homeowners finishing a loft conversion, converting a loft-master bedroom into a full suite, or retro-fitting storage into an existing loft where freestanding furniture never fitted properly.
When to plan it
After plastering, flooring and electrical first-fix are complete. Lead times are typically 5–7 weeks, enquire as soon as second-fix is booked to protect an install slot.
Why professional install matters
Loft storage lives or dies on cutting cabinet sides to the exact roof pitch. A degree or two out and the wardrobe either leaves a triangular gap at the top or refuses to sit against the pitch at all.
What happens if you get it wrong
Cutting corners here costs more than doing it once, properly.
Freestanding wardrobes that will not fit
Any wardrobe over about 1.9m tall will not fit up the stairs of most loft conversions, and even if it does, it hits the pitch before it hits the ceiling. Made-to-measure is the only realistic option in a loft.
Triangular dead space behind knee walls
The 400–800mm-deep triangle behind a dwarf wall is often boarded over and forgotten. Knee-wall pull-out drawers turn it into some of the most usable storage in the house.
Storage boxes on the floor of the room
Without properly fitted eaves and knee-wall storage, most loft bedrooms end up with plastic boxes lined along the low wall. It is a solvable problem, and the solution costs less than most people expect.
Most lofts we are asked to fit out already contain a mix of freestanding units and stacked boxes. A single made-to-measure survey and install replaces both, and finally lets the room look like a proper bedroom rather than long-term storage.

Why homeowners choose Shires
The benefits of doing this properly, once.
Cut to your exact roof pitch
Cabinet sides are cut to the angle of your specific pitch. The wardrobe sits floor-to-ceiling under the slope with no triangular gap above.
Turns dead knee-wall space into storage
Pull-out drawers, shoe racks and cupboards fitted through the dwarf wall, using the 400–800mm of dead space behind it.
Dormer recesses treated properly
Dormer window recesses get their own wardrobe or drawer run, so the whole room reads as one coherent scheme rather than a leftover space.
Lifetime install guarantee
5-year manufacturer guarantee on the furniture and a lifetime installation guarantee on every fit, including the awkward ones.
Adds resale value to the loft
A loft master with proper fitted storage sells noticeably faster than the same loft with freestanding wardrobes and boxes on the floor.
Fixed price, one written quote
Written fixed-price quote in 24–48 hours after the survey. Every angle, drawer and shoe rack priced in, no extras later.

Frequently asked
Straight answers, no hard sell.
- Can you fit wardrobes into sloped ceilings and eaves?
- Yes: sloped-ceiling and eaves wardrobes are one of the most common projects we take on in Shropshire and Herefordshire lofts. Cabinet sides are cut to the exact roof angle so the wardrobe sits floor-to-ceiling under the pitch, with no wasted triangle above the doors.
- What is the minimum head-height you can build storage into?
- Below 900mm of head-height we usually specify low-level drawer runs rather than hanging wardrobes. Above 900mm, angled-top wardrobes and cupboards become practical. The survey establishes the exact break-line in your loft.
- How much does loft conversion storage cost?
- Most loft wardrobe and storage projects fall between £3,000 and £8,500 supplied and installed, depending on the length of the wall, angle of the pitch and internal fit-out. You receive a written fixed-price quote within 24–48 hours of the survey.
- Do I need the loft conversion completely finished before you can survey?
- Ideally yes, plastering, flooring and any electrical first-fix should be complete so we can survey to finished dimensions. We are happy to do a preliminary visit at second-fix stage if it helps you plan around the storage.
- How long does a loft storage install take?
- Made-to-measure lead times are typically 5–7 weeks after the deposit. Installation is usually 2–4 days on site depending on the scope and access.
- Is the storage guaranteed?
- Yes: 5-year manufacturer guarantee on the furniture and a lifetime installation guarantee on the fit.
- Can you build knee-wall (dwarf-wall) storage as well?
- Yes. Low-level drawer boxes, cupboards and pull-out shoe racks fitted into the knee wall of a loft conversion are one of the highest-value additions you can make, turning otherwise dead triangular space into usable storage.
- Do you fit lighting inside loft wardrobes?
- Yes: sensor-triggered warm LED strips inside wardrobes and under shelves are standard on premium builds. Cabling is routed at the survey stage before the doors go on.
