About the service
In most attics and loft spaces, a good half of the area goes to waste — that triangle under the roof slope where you can't put a standard cabinet. I build furniture to the measurements of your specific space that follows the geometry of the slope rather than fighting it: angled fronts align precisely with the rafter line, cabinet bodies account for actual ceiling height at the eaves, and access points are positioned so an adult doesn't have to crawl on their knees to the far end of the recess.
The system's foundation is a series of pull-out drawers on full-extension slides that roll out from under the sloped wall along tracks that follow the roof pitch above them. Instead of one deep cavity that you have to empty completely for something at the back, each drawer extends fully — and the rear fifteen to twenty centimeters, usually dead space, becomes as convenient as the front. Where the ceiling drops too low for a full drawer, I switch to flip-down fronts on piano hinges or swing doors, or shallow fixed shelves at the specific slope angle — so every area gets an access method suited to its actual height, not a universal box for everything.
Material choice here matters more than with a standard built-in. Roof framing rarely accounts for point loads, and summer temperature swings in an unheated attic over one season can warp or delaminate unsuitable board stock. I use lightweight veneer with no internal voids or thin MDF-melamine hybrid — depending on climate and insulation, I install compact concealed hardware and lightweight slides, and where the joists allow, I add a reinforcing base strip so the cabinet weight transfers to the bearing frame rather than only to the floor deck.
The workflow: first an on-site visit and measurement of the actual slope angle, height at the eaves, rafter spacing, plus utilities and insulation that need retained access. Based on measurements I create a cutting layout and simple development sketch so you see in advance the number of drawers and shelf heights. I assemble modules in the workshop — sized so they can fit through an attic stair or window — then fit and level them on site against the actual wall and roof plane: this on-site fitting is what gives tight contact with an uneven slope rather than gaps like a prefab modular kit. A typical cabinet run two to three meters long takes two to four working days from first cut to final installation, and ventilation baffles for the insulation and access covers to utilities remain fully functional as before work began.
If the slope under your attic still gathers dust in an awkward triangle, only good for a stack of boxes, I'll turn it into organized pull-out storage that truly earns the space it occupies.
