Loft storage in Covent Garden: what you get
Behind the short walls at the edge of a loft room, there is often space going to waste. Cupboards and drawers set into the knee wall make that space useful. Pull-out drawers mean you do not have to crawl in. At the design visit in Covent Garden, we’ll see what fits. We make eaves cupboards from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand, and the usual reasons to get in touch are a converted loft with no fitted furniture and furniture that can’t get up to the loft.
Hallways in period terraces are often long and narrow, with the stairs rising along one wall. A large share of the homes around Covent Garden were built before 1919, so every bit of depth is weighed up when storage is planned. Even shallow storage can hold a lot without narrowing the way through.

What affects the price in Covent Garden
To work out the quote, we look at:
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- Tricky walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
- The internal fittings
- The overall size of the piece
Because every job is different, the cost is set out in a written quote after the visit. The price depends mainly on the size of the piece, how many doors and drawers it has and what goes inside.
Before the design visit
There’s no need for exact sizes or plans. Just send what you can:
- Whether it’s a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
- Your postcode and the borough
- Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
It helps to see the room before we come. Pictures of the whole wall, the corners and the ceiling line tell us a lot about the space, especially with rough sizes. To share them, send us a few details through our contact form, and we’ll arrange a design visit.
DIY, flat-pack or bespoke
Flat-pack and off-the-shelf furniture has its place. In a room with square walls and standard sizes, it can work well.
Standard units come in set widths and heights, so there’s usually a gap left over at the top or at one end. Fitted furniture is made to the room’s measurements, so it can use the full height and width.
From workshop to your room
Once the main sections are fixed in place, any doors go on and any drawers or lids are fitted. Each one is adjusted until the gaps are even and it closes cleanly, and then we check it all again. The time the fitting takes depends on how much storage you want in the loft, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Terraced streets in London are often lined with parked cars, so it’s useful to tell us at the design visit what’s outside. The van is unloaded quickly, with the sections carried straight in. Saturday fitting can be arranged.
- 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 quote in writing 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.
Before fitting day
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone
- Clear the walls of pictures and shelves
- If you live in a block, book the lift and tell the building manager
How to get a quote
The design visit is where every quote starts. We measure the room properly, check how the walls and floors run and discuss the design with you. A written quote follows the visit. To arrange the visit, get in touch through our contact form.

Common questions about loft storage
Will a conservation area stop me having loft storage fitted in Covent Garden?
Usually not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different, as works inside that affect their character can need listed building consent from the council. If you are unsure, the council can confirm.
My house in Covent Garden is Victorian. Can you deal with uneven walls?
Yes. Walls in older houses are rarely flat or square, and floors are often out of level, so each piece is scribed to follow the wall and set level on a plinth or adjustable feet. We also work around skirting boards, picture rails and cornices. Older walls can be solid brick or lath and plaster, and the fixings are chosen to suit.
Do you cover areas outside London?
No. We work in London and nowhere else, across all the boroughs and the City of London.
How long is the fitting for eaves storage?
How long fitting takes depends on the shape of the room and the number of cupboards and drawers, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Every part is made in our workshop before we arrive. If you’d like the fitting on a Saturday, that can be arranged.
Can you make loft storage for a home in Covent Garden?
Yes. We cover Covent Garden and the rest of Westminster. To get a quote, message us from the contact page.
Can you convert my loft as well?
No. We do not carry out loft conversions. Our part is the storage once the loft is a finished room, from eaves cupboards to wardrobes under the slopes.
Flats, conversions and leaseholders
A lot of London’s terraced houses are now converted flats, which often brings a shared hall and tight turns on the stairs. We plan the size of each section around it.
If your building is on a red route or a busy main road, getting the furniture from the van to the door needs planning. TfL runs the red routes, and the stopping rules are strict, so tell us about it during the design visit.
Is bespoke worth it?
Ready-made wardrobes and cupboards are built for standard rooms. Under a slope, it leaves large gaps and wasted space. Storage made for the loft follows its shape. It costs more than off-the-shelf furniture, and what you gain is the space a standard piece cannot reach. Off-the-shelf furniture is made for flat walls and level floors, which older houses rarely have, so you end up with gaps, wobbles and units that do not meet the skirting. Fitted furniture is scribed to the wall instead.
Getting to the room affects the job as well. Narrow halls, tight stairs or a small lift may mean the furniture is made in more sections. The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose.

The National Heritage List has 836 entries within half a mile of the centre of Covent Garden. Older homes nearby may have original joinery, shutters or panelling worth keeping, and the furniture can be designed around them rather than over them. Controlled parking zones cover much of inner London, and each borough runs its own. For fitting in Covent Garden, a van typically needs a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. Let us know about parking near your home during the design visit.
