Loft storage for your home in Fitzrovia
Loft storage in Fitzrovia
A sloping ceiling leaves little room for a standard wardrobe. A wardrobe made for the slope follows its angle, with hanging where there’s height and shelves or drawers lower down. It uses the full height of the room. We’ll plan it at the measuring visit in Fitzrovia. We make eaves cupboards from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted, and the usual reasons to get in touch are a dormer that isn’t being used and furniture that can’t get up to the loft.
In a flat without a loft, storage has to be found in the hall, the recesses and the rooms themselves. With most households around Fitzrovia in purpose-built flats, that is often the starting point. Shallow cupboards and seats with storage add a lot without taking much floor.
A written quote is the clearest record of what we’ve agreed. It sets out the eaves cupboard designed for your room, its materials and its finish.

Fitzrovia homes and loft storage
In the area around Fitzrovia, the largest groups of homes date from before 1919 (about 38%) and the years since 2000 (about 21%), according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. Part of Fitzrovia is in the Fitzroy Square Conservation Area, according to Historic England’s records. Conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. If you’re unsure, check with the council before work starts. About 80% of households in the streets around Fitzrovia live in purpose-built flats, the 2021 Census shows. In a block, each section is sized to get up the stairs or into the lift and through the door. Many blocks have rules on lift booking and working hours, so check with the managing agent before fitting day.
Near listed buildings like Holy Trinity Church, less than half a mile west of the centre of Fitzrovia, older homes may keep original joinery that eaves cupboards can be designed around. For a listed home, fixing into original features may need listed building consent. For families living near All Souls CofE Primary School, eaves cupboards can give school bags, shoes and sports kit a proper home.
Fitzrovia is part of the London Borough of Camden, about 1 mile east of St Pancras. Design visits and fitting in Fitzrovia can be on a Saturday, by prior arrangement. We list Fitzrovia among 28 places we cover in Camden.
In NW1W, W1T and W1G, the process is the same as anywhere else in London. We cover homes on streets like Euston Road, Duke's Road and Market Place, along with the roads around them, for loft storage and any of our other fitted furniture. The A501 and A4200 run close to Fitzrovia, so if your home is on a main road, mention it when you get in touch. Neighbouring places we cover for loft storage include Euston (1 mile north-east), Marylebone (1 mile south-west), Bloomsbury (1 mile east), Somers Town (1 mile north-east) and Soho (1 mile south-east). Across the rest of Camden, our area takes in Hampstead (3 miles north-west), West Hampstead (3 miles north-west), Kentish Town (2 miles north), Greenhill (3 miles north-west), Chalk Farm (2 miles north) and Dartmouth Park (2 miles north).

Common questions about loft storage
Do you cover homes near London Euston station?
Yes, homes across Camden and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can message us from the contact page with some details about the room.
Is Fitzrovia in the area you cover for loft storage?
Yes. Fitzrovia is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Camden and London. To get started, you can message us from the contact page with a few details.
How much does loft storage cost?
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. Drawers in the knee wall normally involve more work than simple cupboards, and the finish matters too. We set it all out in a written quote.
Can a wardrobe follow a sloping ceiling?
Yes. The wardrobe follows the angle of the ceiling, with hanging where there is height. It uses the full height of the room. We will work out the layout when we visit.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, Saturdays are possible by prior arrangement. Just mention it when you contact us, and we’ll see what we can do.
Do pictures help?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit, along with rough sizes. It helps to show radiators, sockets and anything else on the wall.

What else we make in Fitzrovia
Is it time for loft storage?
The most common reason is wasted space. Behind the knee walls, there is space nobody can reach. Built-in storage makes that space useful.
Here are some of the needs we are asked about most:
- A new loft conversion that needs storage
- An empty dormer that could hold shelves
- Boxes piled on loft boards
- Furniture that can’t get up to the loft
If you live in a flat close to London Euston station, it helps to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day.
What to check before you book
- Whether the route into your home has been checked
- How they handle walls that aren’t straight
- Who does any electrics, plumbing or gas work
- Is it spray painted or hand painted?
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
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.
Flat-pack and off-the-shelf furniture has its place. If the walls are straight and the space suits standard sizes, it often does the job.
Tips worth knowing
Fresh paintwork takes a while to cure fully, so treat it gently at first. Beyond that, these tips help:
- Note the things that need a home in the loft
- Tell us about parking at the measuring visit
- Think about hanging space for a loft bedroom
- Consider drawers for the deep, low spaces
Do not pack things so tightly that air cannot move behind the knee wall. Leave the gaps we have designed in. It helps keep the loft in good order.
Leave room for air to move behind the storage. Insulation pressed flat doesn’t do its job. Damp in the eaves is worth raising with the people who did the conversion.
Materials and finishes
Pull-out drawers
A run of drawers along the knee wall can work like a long chest. The top can act as a shelf. We agree the layout at the design visit.
Moisture-resistant MDF
A loft room can see more change in temperature than other rooms, so a stable material matters. It takes a spray-painted or hand-painted finish well. It’s used for most of the visible parts.
From workshop to your room
If anything comes up on the day, just ask. The design, materials and finish were settled before anything was made, so the day itself is about careful fitting and leaving everything tidy. The time the fitting takes depends on how much storage you want in the loft, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Where there is no lift, each section is sized to be carried up the stairs safely. The stair turns and landings set the limit. The pieces are assembled in the flat.
- You get in touch and tell us 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. Tell us about parking too, as a van often needs a permit or a paid bay.
- A quote in writing follows, covering the design, materials and finish.
- We build the storage in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, sized to get up to the loft.
- We carry the sections up, join them in the room and scribe them to fit.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Have your electrician move any sockets or switches beforehand
- Book any lift and let the concierge or building manager know
Arranging a design visit
It helps to see the room before we come. A few pictures showing the walls, the corners and where the ceiling meets them tell us a lot about the space. To send them over, drop us a line using the contact form, and we will arrange a design visit.
