About our loft storage in Kenton
Getting furniture up to a loft room is part of the planning. We measure the route not just the room, so the sections we make in our workshop can be carried up. It’s part of the job for any loft room in Kenton. People usually come to us about ready-made wardrobes too big for the stairs and a boarded loft that’s hard to keep organised, and the answer is made at our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted.
Landings in houses from between the wars are often roomier than in a Victorian terrace, which can hold fitted storage for linen and spare bedding. Around Kenton, where interwar homes and semis are a big part of the housing, it’s worth looking up as well as down. If a boiler or cylinder sits there, it keeps its clearances and access.
The written quote is your record of the job. It describes the eaves cupboard we’ve designed for the room, its materials and its finish, and it’s what the workshop builds to.

Is it time for loft storage?
Standard wardrobes do not fit under a sloping ceiling. A wardrobe made for the slope uses the full height. It is often the main reason people get in touch about a loft bedroom.
Typical reasons people contact us include:
- A loft room with too many jobs
- Wasted space behind the knee walls
- Nowhere to store bags and boxes
- A new loft conversion that needs storage
If your home is one of the older houses near Church of St Mary, sloping ceilings in a loft room suit wardrobes cut to the angle.
Before you hire any carpenter
- Where they’ll park and unload
- Do they scribe the furniture to the walls?
- A written quote that sets out the job
- Which materials they’ll use, named in the quote
Flats, blocks and rented homes
If the property is let, we will need access agreed with the tenants, at times that suit them. A letting agent can arrange this on a landlord’s behalf, and the written quote can go to whoever needs it.
If you live in a flat, getting the furniture in is planned from the start. At the design visit, we measure the stairs, the landings, any lift and the doors, so each section is sized to get through without a struggle.
Loft storage for homes in Kenton
About 84% of the homes in the area around Kenton went up between 1919 and 1939, and about 7% between 1945 and 1972, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. We take that into account at the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. Near the centre of Kenton, Historic England’s list includes Church of St Mary and Parish Hall (Grade II*), under half a mile west, and Kenton Library (Grade II), about 0.5 miles north-west. For a listed home, internal works that affect its character can need listed building consent from the council, for instance removing or fixing into original panelling. Ask the council’s conservation officer before anything is fixed. About 84% of homes in the neighbourhood around Kenton date from between 1919 and 1939, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Loft conversions are common in houses of that age, and the eaves can take fitted storage.
Close to Preston Park? Living near green space often means muddy boots, bikes and outdoor kit, and eaves cupboards can give those things a place. Headstone Manor, about 2.2 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. If your own home is a period one, the knee walls of a converted loft can take drawers as well as cupboards.
Kenton is in the London Borough of Brent, about 6 miles south-east of Kilburn. Design visits and fitting in Kenton can be on a Saturday, by arrangement. We cover places right across Brent, large and small.

Pricing loft storage in Kenton
To work out the quote, we look at:
- How big the furniture is
- Where a van can park, like a permit bay or a bay suspension
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- The internal fittings
Getting to the room affects the job as well. Several flights of stairs, a small lift or a narrow hall can mean smaller sections and more carrying, which the quote allows for. Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit.
Helping us understand the room
There is no need for exact sizes or plans. It is enough to send:
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
- Approximate measurements of the space
To make a start, get in touch through 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 send you a quote in writing afterwards.
Fitting day, step by step
At the end, we tidy up. Before we go, we look over the finished furniture with you and explain how to look after the paint. The time the fitting takes depends on the length of the eaves and the design, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. On fitting day, the sections are carried in, assembled, scribed to the wall and levelled. Hand-painted furniture can be finished on site; spray-painted pieces arrive finished from the workshop. Saturdays can be arranged.
- It starts when you contact us with some details about the loft, and how you get up to it.
- We visit to measure the eaves and slopes and discuss the design.
- You receive a written quote for the storage we have discussed.
- Your storage is made at our workshop and painted to your chosen colour.
- We fit it in your home, scribed to the slopes and the walls.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Clear the area where the furniture is going
- Take anything hanging off the wall we’re fitting to
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture

Questions from Kenton
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Kenton station?
Yes, homes across Brent and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can get in touch through our contact form to arrange a design visit, and tell us about parking and access at the same time.
Does a conservation area in or near Kenton affect fitted furniture?
Normally not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. If your home is listed, changes inside that alter its character can need listed building consent, so check with the council first. If you are unsure, the council can confirm.
What if my walls and floors are out of level?
Walls and floors that are not true are part of the job in older homes. The furniture is scribed to follow the walls and levelled on feet or a plinth.
What do eaves cupboards cost?
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. The mix of cupboards, drawers and wardrobes, and the finish, all play a part. We set it all out in a written quote.
How long is the fitting for eaves storage?
How long fitting takes depends on the length of the eaves and the design, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Because everything is made at our workshop, the work in your home is the fitting itself. We keep the route up to the loft as clear as possible.
Will eaves storage block the ventilation?
Not if it’s planned with care. The storage is planned around the insulation and ventilation behind the knee wall. If you have concerns about what’s already behind the eaves, it’s worth asking whoever converted the loft.
