Loft storage for homes in Cubitt Town
Homes built since 2000 make up about 67% of the housing in the area around Cubitt Town, with about 17% built between 1973 and 1999, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. The age of a home tells us a lot about its walls, floors and ceilings, and so about how eaves cupboards are fixed and fitted. There are 14 entries on the National Heritage List within half a mile of the centre of Cubitt Town. You can check whether a particular building is listed on Historic England’s list. More than half of the homes in the streets around Cubitt Town (about 67%) were built since 2000, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. In a newer house with a converted loft, the space under the slopes can be used.
For a family home near Cubitt Town Infants' School, eaves cupboards can give school bags, shoes and sports kit a proper home. If you live near Mudchute Park and Farm, 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 Christ Church, the knee walls of a converted loft can take drawers as well as cupboards.
Cubitt Town is about 3 miles north-west of Whitechapel, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Our work covers every London borough and the City of London, Cubitt Town included. Our work takes in places right across Tower Hamlets.

Cubitt Town sits close to the A1206, and we plan where the van can stop before fitting day.

How we make loft storage for Cubitt Town
We build storage in lofts that are already converted or boarded. The conversion itself is not our work, and conversions come under Building Regulations. With the room in place, we can plan the storage. If you have a converted loft in Cubitt Town, the design visit is the first step. We make eaves cupboards from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish, and people most often get in touch about clothes with nowhere to go in a loft bedroom and wasted space behind the knee walls.
Hallways in newer flats and houses are often short, with doors opening off every side, which leaves little wall for storage. Around Cubitt Town, many homes were built since 2000, so that’s worth planning for. A shallow cupboard can take coats, shoes and the vacuum cleaner without blocking a door.
The furniture is made in our workshop after you have had the quote and decided to go ahead. The quote sets out the agreed design, materials and finish, so you can check every detail beforehand.

Fitting day, step by step
Before anything is fixed, we set the furniture level. Floors are often out of level, so adjustable feet or a plinth take up the difference. After that, it is fixed to the wall using fixings that suit the wall, whether that is solid brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard. On the day, floors are covered first and the sections brought in. Each piece is levelled and fixed to suit plasterboard or block. Any hand painting can be finished on site.
- First we hear about the loft room and what you’d like to store, including the eaves and any dormer.
- At the design visit, the room and the route up are measured.
- We agree the cupboards, drawers and wardrobes, and send a quote in writing.
- The storage is made in our workshop, in sections sized for the stairs.
- The storage is fitted, scribed to the slopes and checked with you. Any hand painting is done in the loft.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route from the front door to the room
- Book any lift and let the concierge or building manager know
- Tell us about any meters, fuse boards or boilers in the area

Flat-pack or bespoke?
Off-the-shelf furniture can be a sensible choice. If the walls are straight and the space suits standard sizes, it often does the job, and it is easy to buy.
The real difference is in the fit: edges scribed to the wall, a level base on a sloping floor and a neat line where the furniture meets the ceiling. In an older room, standard units rarely manage that.
Flats, conversions and leaseholders
In a flat, the route in matters as much as the room. At the design visit, we measure the stairs, the landings, any lift and the doors, so each section is sized to get through.
If your building is on a red route or a busy main road, unloading takes some planning. TfL runs the red routes, and the stopping rules are strict, so it is worth raising at the measuring visit.
Questions from Cubitt Town
Is Cubitt Town in the area you cover for loft storage?
Yes, Cubitt Town is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Tower Hamlets and the rest of London. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and go through the design, and then we send a quote.
How do you fit loft storage in a flat in Cubitt Town?
At the design visit, we measure the way in along with the room itself. 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.
Do you carry out loft conversions?
No, the conversion itself is not our work. Our part is the storage once the loft is a finished room, from eaves cupboards to wardrobes under the slopes.
How is the furniture painted?
You can choose between two finishes: spray painted or hand painted. A spray finish is smooth and even, while a hand-painted one is easy to touch up later.
What happens during the design visit?
We take full measurements, look at the walls and floors and work through the design together. We will also ask about access and parking, and a written quote follows.
What if the wall is cold or damp?
It needs a little planning: ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps avoid condensation and mould. We do not treat damp, so any damp should be sorted before fitting day.
What affects the price in Cubitt Town
We quote each job after the design visit, because no two rooms are the same. This is what makes the difference:
- How many doors and drawers there are
- Access to the room, such as stairs, lifts and narrow halls
- The width and height of the space
- Awkward walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
Tricky rooms take more time: uneven walls, sloping floors and angled ceilings all add scribing and cutting on site. The quote allows for it, which we write after seeing the room.
What we need to know
To give us a picture of the room, it helps to include:
- How you want to use the space
- Rough measurements, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
- The type of home and how the room is reached
To make a start, use our contact form and tell us a little about the room. From there, we arrange a design visit to measure up and talk through your ideas, and a quote in writing follows.
Bespoke loft storage or ready-made?
With ready-made furniture, the colour is the maker’s choice. We paint the storage in the colour you choose, so it sits with the rest of the room. Big standalone units can dominate a compact room, whereas fitted pieces painted to suit the walls sit back into the space.
Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit. The price depends mainly on the size of the piece, how many doors and drawers it has and what goes inside.
