Loft storage designed for your room
Loft storage in Kings Cross: what you get
We make each eaves cupboard in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood. Birch plywood gives the carcasses and drawers their strength, while MDF takes paint well for the doors and panels. Once painted, by spray or by hand, it’s carried up and fitted in your home in Kings Cross. Typical reasons to get in touch are wasted space behind the knee walls and a converted loft with no fitted furniture; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand.
Getting materials into a block means planning the lift, the corridor and the front door of the flat. Most households around Kings Cross live in purpose-built flats, so eaves cupboards are drawn in sections from the start. Floors in the corridor and the flat are covered on the way in.

Where other trades come in

- Insulation or ventilation work behind the eaves
- Electrical work in the loft
- Any work on the structure of the house
If in doubt, you can get in touch through our contact form and describe the room before you arrange a visit. Our process from visit to fitting.

- Spray-painted finish
Looking after your furniture
Looking after painted furniture is simple with a little care. These habits help most:
- Measure the loft stairs, the turns and the landing
- Think about what will go in each cupboard or drawer
- Decide whether you’d prefer drawers, cupboards or both
- Tell us about parking during the design visit
When you load the drawers and cupboards, put heavy things low. That keeps the drawers running smoothly. Shelves are made for what you told us you’d store.
Sharp edges and heavy boxes can chip a painted edge. Store tools in a box, not loose against the doors. A small chip on a hand-painted finish is easy to touch in.
Questions from Kings Cross
Can you make loft storage for a home in Kings Cross?
Yes, we work across Camden, Kings Cross included, and across the rest of London. To get started, you can drop us a line using the contact form with some details.
Can you fit furniture in a home close to London Kings Cross station?
Yes. We cover all of Camden and the rest of London. You can send us a few details through our contact form to arrange a design visit, and tell us about parking and access at the same time.
What are your eaves cupboards made from?
We use moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood. The carcasses and drawer boxes are birch plywood, which is strong and holds screws well, while the doors and panels are MDF, which paints well. The finish is spray-painted or hand-painted.
Can you convert my loft as well?
No. We don’t carry out loft conversions. We design and fit storage once the room is in place, including eaves cupboards, knee-wall drawers and wardrobes.
Can you come on a Saturday?
Yes, by arrangement. Tell us when you contact us if a Saturday suits you best.
What do eaves cupboards cost?
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. The size of the room, the amount of storage and the finish all shape the price. For a quote, send us a few details through our contact form to arrange a design visit.

When is bespoke worth it?
Cost matters, and it’s fair to say so: off-the-shelf furniture normally costs less up front. Bespoke makes more sense where the room is tricky, the space is valuable or you want the furniture to look built in.
What you pay for with bespoke is mainly 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.
Storage in Kings Cross homes: local notes
Homes built before 1919 make up about 39% of the housing in the streets around Kings Cross, with about 20% built since 2000, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. We take that into account during the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. Kings Cross is partly covered by the King's Cross and St Pancras Conservation Area, one of the conservation areas recorded by Historic England. Conservation area controls are mainly about the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. Your council can advise if you are unsure. Red routes are run by TfL, with tight limits on where and when vehicles can stop. Where a home in Kings Cross is on or beside a main road, it is useful to mention that at the design visit. We will plan where the van can stop.
The wider area includes historic houses such as Dr Johnson's House, about 1.2 miles south-east. For a period home anywhere nearby, sloping ceilings in a loft room suit wardrobes cut to the angle. Close to Lewis Cubitt Park? Eaves cupboards can be designed to hold outdoor kit, from walking boots to picnic things.
Kings Cross is within the London Borough of Camden, about 1 mile south-east of St Pancras. Homes in Kings Cross are part of the area we cover for loft storage, as part of our work in every London borough. We list Kings Cross among 28 places we cover in Camden.
We cover every part of the NW1W, NW1 and N1 postcode area. You will find streets here like Euston Road, Duke's Road and Phoenix Road, and homes on each of them are within our area for loft storage. Kings Cross is near the A501 and A4200; on busy main roads, unloading eaves cupboards takes a little planning. Nearby, we also make loft storage in Somers Town (1 mile west), St Pancras (1 mile south-east), Euston (1 mile south-west), Bloomsbury (1 mile south) and Agar Town (1 mile north-west).

How fitting works for loft storage
The last stage of the day is the finish. With a spray finish from the workshop, there’s usually only filling and touching up to do in the room; hand painting, if that is what you chose, can be done in place once everything is fitted. The finish is always the one agreed in your quote. For a flat, the stairs, landings, lift and doors are measured as well as the room: the furniture is made in sections that fit through all of them. Mansion block lifts can be small, and some blocks have no lift at all.
- 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.
- In our workshop we build each section from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood to follow the slope.
- On fitting day the units are set level and scribed to the slope and the knee wall.
Before fitting day
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
- Keep pets in another room while we work

Why people ask for loft storage in Kings Cross
The most common reason is wasted space. Behind the knee walls, there is space nobody can reach. Built-in storage makes that space useful.
These come up often when people first get in touch:
- A loft room with too many jobs
- Standard furniture that won’t go up the loft stairs
- Seasonal things cluttering the loft room
- A dormer that is not being used
If you live in a flat close to London Kings Cross station, the lift, the stair turns and the front door all set the largest piece that can come in.
