Loft storage in Dartmouth Park, Camden
Thinking about loft storage in Dartmouth Park? It starts with a design visit to measure and talk through ideas, then a quote in writing, before anything is made.
- Space under the eaves going to waste
- A loft room that doubles as an office or guest room
- A boarded loft with no proper shelving
Loft storage for your home in Dartmouth Park
Loft storage for homes in Dartmouth Park
We make each eaves cupboard in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood. Birch plywood is strong and holds screws well, which suits drawer boxes and carcasses, and MDF gives the doors and panels a smooth surface for paint. It is then spray-painted or hand-painted and fitted in your home in Dartmouth Park. We make eaves cupboards from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed, and people most often get in touch about low eaves that nobody can use and a converted loft with no fitted furniture.
Outside walls in houses from before 1919 are typically solid brick, which can be cold, so a gap and ventilation behind fitted storage help avoid condensation. A large share of the homes around Dartmouth Park date from then. Any damp is dealt with before storage goes in.
The furniture is made at our workshop after you’ve 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.

What it costs
Each piece is designed for one room, so each price is too. What affects it comes down to:
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- Parking and unloading on your street
- Awkward walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
- The number of doors and drawers
The finish affects the cost: spray painting happens in the workshop, and hand painting can be done in your home. The written quote reflects your choice, along with the size and fittings.
What we need to know
To give us a picture of the room, it is useful to include:
- Your postcode and the borough
- What the furniture needs to hold
- Anything in the way, like radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
- Rough measurements: width, height and depth
Every quote follows a design visit. We measure the space, check the walls and floors and discuss what you’d like, then send a written quote. There’s no price list: each design is priced in writing after we’ve seen the space. To book a design visit, fill in our short enquiry form.
How fitting works for loft storage
On the morning of the fitting, we start by protecting your floors and the route from the front door to the room. The sections built in our workshop come in next, one at a time. How long fitting takes depends on the shape of the room and the number of cupboards and drawers, and your quote sets out the fitting days. On fitting day in an older house, the main job is scribing to walls and levelling on floors that slope, so each piece is trimmed and adjusted on site. Floors are protected, and dust is kept down as far as possible. Parking can be tight on terraced streets, so let us know about permits and bays during the design visit.
- You let us know about your converted or boarded loft, including the eaves and any dormer.
- We measure the eaves, the slopes and the stairs up to the loft.
- The design is agreed and a written quote follows, with the finish set out.
- Every part is built in our workshop, ready for a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
- The storage is fitted, scribed to the slopes and checked with you. Any hand painting is done in the loft.
Before we arrive
- Have your electrician move any sockets or switches beforehand
- Empty the space we will be working in
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall
Getting a quote
Getting a quote starts with a few details: the room, rough sizes and some photos if you have them. When you’re ready, get in touch through our contact form. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and talk through the design, then send a written quote.

Flats, leases and landlords
In a flat, the route in matters as much as the room. We measure the stairs, landings, lift and doorways as well as the room, so the furniture can be made in sections that fit through without a struggle.
For a rented home, access for the design visit and fitting day has to be agreed with the tenants. An agent can arrange access for you, and the written quote can go to whoever needs it.
What prompts loft storage in Dartmouth Park
Many people get in touch once their loft conversion is complete. Standard furniture rarely suits the new room. Storage made for the slopes completes it.
People typically get in touch with us about things like these:
- Low eaves that nobody can use
- A loft room that still feels unfinished
- Unused space in a dormer
- Nowhere to store bags and boxes
For an older house near Church of St Mary Brookfield, eaves cupboards in a converted loft are scribed to slopes that are rarely even.
What to check before you book

- Will other trades be needed, and who arranges them?
- How the furniture will be finished, and where
- How parking will work on your street
Dartmouth Park homes and loft storage
Homes built before 1919 make up about 55% of the housing in the area around Dartmouth Park, with about 15% built between 1973 and 1999, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. The National Heritage List has 43 entries within half a mile of the centre of Dartmouth Park. Older homes nearby may have original joinery, shutters or panelling worth keeping, and eaves cupboards can be designed to work around them. Since the zone was extended to the outer boroughs in August 2023, the whole of London has been inside the ULEZ. Vans bringing furniture to Dartmouth Park fall under it, just as they do across the rest of London. We go through parking and access during the design visit.
Near listed buildings like Church of St Mary Brookfield, under half a mile north-east of the centre of Dartmouth Park, older homes may keep original joinery that eaves cupboards can be designed around. For a listed home, fixing into original features can need listed building consent. The wider area includes historic houses like Witanhurst, about 0.8 miles north-west. If your own home is a period one, eaves cupboards in a converted loft are scribed to slopes that are rarely even.
Dartmouth Park is about 3 miles south-east of St Pancras, within the London Borough of Camden. Homes in Dartmouth Park are part of the area we cover for loft storage, as part of our work in every London borough. Across Camden, we cover Dartmouth Park, along with the rest of the borough.
Design visits and fitting in NW5, N19 and N7 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. We cover homes on streets such as Hugo Road, Ward Road and Anson Road, along with the roads around them, whether you want loft storage or another piece made for the room. We also cover the places around Dartmouth Park: Lissenden Gardens (1 mile south-west), Tufnell Park (1 mile east), Gospel Oak (1 mile south-west), Upper Holloway (1 mile north-east) and Highgate (1 mile north). We also make loft storage in nearby places like St Pancras (3 miles south-east), Hampstead (2 miles west), West End (3 miles south), St Giles (3 miles south), Seven Dials (3 miles south) and West Hampstead (2 miles west).

Your questions about loft storage in Dartmouth Park
I live in a flat in Dartmouth Park. How will the furniture get up the stairs?
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. It’s useful to check any building rules and your lease before fitting day.
Is Dartmouth Park in the area you cover for loft storage?
Yes. We cover all of Camden and the rest of London, and Dartmouth Park is part of that. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and talk through the design, followed by a quote.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, Saturdays are possible by arrangement. Just mention it when you contact us, and we’ll see what we can do.
How is the furniture painted?
There are two ways to finish it: by spray or by hand. Spray painting gives a smooth, even finish, and hand painting is easy to touch up.
Can a wardrobe follow a sloping ceiling?
Yes. We shape the wardrobe to follow the slope, with hanging at the tall end and shelves or drawers lower down. It uses the full height of the room. We will work out the layout when we visit.
Does fitted furniture need planning permission?
Not normally. Conservation areas mostly control changes to the outside, and fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different: check with the council’s conservation officer first.
