What happens on fitting day
If anything comes up on the day, just ask. The design, materials and finish were settled before anything was made, so fitting day is about putting it in place carefully and leaving the room tidy. The time the fitting takes depends on how much storage you want in the loft, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Sections come into the flat in the order they’re fitted, so the flat doesn’t fill up. Floors are covered and dust is kept down. The fixings suit each wall, whether solid or stud.
- You get in touch and let us know about the loft and the stairs up to it.
- At the design visit we plan the storage and measure the stairs, landings and loft doorway.
- A quote in writing follows, covering the design, materials and finish.
- Everything is made in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, in sections small enough for the loft stairs.
- The sections go up the stairs, are assembled under the eaves and set level. The finish is sprayed in the workshop or hand-painted in the loft.
Before we arrive
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture
- Keep pets out of the room and the hallway
- Have your electrician move any sockets or switches beforehand

Loft storage in Camberwell
Many loft rooms are bedrooms, and storage for clothes is the first need. A wardrobe under the slope, knee-wall drawers and dormer shelves make a complete set. Planned together, they make the room feel ordered. We design them around what you need to store in Camberwell. People normally come to us about clothes with nowhere to go in a loft bedroom and furniture that can’t get up to the loft; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish.
One flat can have concrete, block and plasterboard walls side by side. Since most households around Camberwell live in purpose-built flats, we check each wall during the design visit before choosing fixings. Storage on a lightweight wall stands on the floor and is fixed back for stability.
Our quotes are written in plain words. You’ll see what will be made, the boards used and the finish, taken from what we agreed at the visit.

DIY, flat-pack or bespoke
A confident DIYer can manage simple shelves or a standard wardrobe in a square room. Sloping ceilings, uneven floors and lath-and-plaster walls make it harder.
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 is something we plan for in the design.
Materials and finishes
Birch plywood
Knee-wall drawers often carry a real load. Birch plywood suits them, as it is strong and holds screws well. It works well for longer shelves too.
Pull-out drawers
Pull-out drawers bring the back of the eaves within reach. Each one is sized for what it will hold. They’re ideal for clothes and bedding.
Loft storage for homes in Camberwell
Homes built before 1919 make up about 29% of the housing in the neighbourhood around Camberwell, with about 26% built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). That matters for eaves cupboards, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. Within a mile of the centre of Camberwell, 12 conservation areas are recorded by Historic England. England has around 10,000 in all, and their controls are mostly concerned with the outside of buildings. Parking on many inner London streets is controlled, with zones run by each borough. A van working in Camberwell will normally need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension arranged through the council, which often needs notice. It helps to let us know about parking during the design visit.
For a family home near Mary Datchelor School, a place for each person’s coat and shoes stops the hallway filling up. Close to Brunswick Park? Living near green space often means muddy boots, bikes and outdoor kit, and eaves cupboards can give those things a place. If your home is one of the older houses near St Giles' Church, sloping ceilings in a loft room suit wardrobes cut to the angle.
Camberwell is within the London Borough of Southwark, about 1 mile south of East Dulwich. Homes in Camberwell are part of the area we cover for loft storage. Our work takes in places right across Southwark, from the busiest high streets to quiet residential roads.
In SE5, SE15, SE22 and SE24, the process is the same as anywhere else in London. Our area takes in homes on streets like New Church Road, Camberwell Station Road and Addington Square, for loft storage and any of our other fitted furniture. The A202 and B214 run close to Camberwell; on busy main roads, unloading eaves cupboards takes a little planning. If you are just outside Camberwell, we also cover Denmark Hill (1 mile south), East Dulwich (1 mile south), Walworth (1 mile north), Peckham (1 mile east) and Herne Hill (1 mile south). Other parts of Southwark we cover include Bermondsey (2 miles north), Elephant and Castle (2 miles north), Bankside (2 miles north), Southwark (2 miles north), St George's Fields (2 miles north-west) and Rotherhithe (3 miles north-east).
Near you in Camberwell
Our area takes in the homes around Sacred Heart Catholic School, Hermits Cave pub and Brunswick Park Primary School, among other places. Camberwell has its own railway station: Denmark Hill station. Well-known places in the area include St Giles' Hospital (less than half a mile east) and Peckham Platform (0.8 miles east). Not far away are Bellenden Road Nature Garden.
What loft storage can’t fix
Our work is the furniture itself: designing it, making it in our workshop and fitting it. In practice, that means:
- Fixing damp or ventilation problems in the eaves
- New sockets, lights or wiring, which are for your electrician
- Converting the loft itself, which isn’t our work
If in doubt, you can drop us a line using the contact form and describe the room. How it works.
What goes into it
- Moisture-resistant MDF
- Eaves doors and drawers
- Birch plywood
- Hand-painted finish
- Sloped wardrobe tops
- Spray-painted finish
Practical tips
Fitted furniture is part of the room, so it is worth looking after. A few pointers help:
- Consider drawers for the deep, low spaces
- Let us know about parking near your home
- Find out what’s behind the eaves, from insulation to vents
- Check the route up to the loft
Once the fitting is done, the storage is ready to use. New paintwork takes time to cure fully, so go easy on it to begin with. Avoid sticky tape, heavy knocks and harsh cleaners while it hardens.
Loft rooms can be warm in summer and cool in winter. Keep the room ventilated. It helps the storage stay in good condition.
Questions we are often asked
Is Camberwell in the area you cover for loft storage?
Yes. Camberwell is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Southwark and London. You can message us from the contact page to arrange a design visit.
How do you fit loft storage in a flat in Camberwell?
At the design visit, we measure the way in as well as the room. The furniture is made in sections that fit the stairs and lift, and put together in the room. If your building has rules on lift booking or working hours, or your lease needs consent for alterations, it’s worth checking those early.
How long will the loft storage fitting take?
How long the fitting takes depends on how much storage you want in the loft, and your quote sets out the fitting days. The storage is made at our workshop first, so the time in your home is spent fitting. We work tidily and keep the stairs and landing as clear as we can.
Is it possible to fit a wardrobe under the slope?
Yes. A wardrobe made for the slope fits where a standard one cannot. The tall end takes hanging space, and the low end can hold shelves or drawers. It’s cut to fit the ceiling and walls exactly.
How much does loft storage cost?
The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. The size of the room, the amount of storage and the finish all shape the price. For a quote, tell us about the room on our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Do photos help?
Yes, they help. Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling, give us a good idea of the space. You can send them when you get in touch through our contact form.
