Pricing loft storage in Mapesbury
The price reflects the time and materials the job needs. That depends on:
- The width and height of the space
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
We don’t publish set prices, because every piece is designed for one room. Instead, we measure, go through the design and then quote in writing, naming the materials and finish. To start, drop us a line using the contact form.
Getting in touch
When you contact us, these help most:
- How you want to use the space
- Your postcode and the borough
- The type of home and how the room is reached
- Rough sizes: width, height and depth
Every quote follows a design visit. At the visit, we measure, look at the walls and floors and go through the design with you, then send a written quote. Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. To arrange a visit, tell us about the room on our contact form.
How we make loft storage for Mapesbury
Loft stairs are often narrow and steep, with tight turns. We measure the route as well as the room, so every section built in our workshop fits up the stairs. It’s a step that matters for any loft in Mapesbury. Most enquiries start with an empty dormer that could hold shelves and furniture that can’t get up to the loft, and the answer is made at our workshop from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
Newer homes tend to have finished floors that scratch easily, so we cover them while we work. Many homes around Mapesbury were built since 2000, and their plasterboard walls need fixings into the studs or made for the board. The storage can sit on its own plinth or be scribed over the skirting.
Materials are named in the quote: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, each used where it suits the job. The finish is stated too, whether that is spray painting or hand painting.

Why people ask for loft storage in Mapesbury
The most common reason is wasted space. The low spaces at the edge of a loft room are hard to use. Cupboards and drawers built into the knee wall put it to work.
Here are some of the needs we are asked about most:
- A boarded loft that is hard to keep organised
- Seasonal things cluttering the loft room
- A converted loft with no fitted furniture
- Low eaves that nobody can use
If you live near St. Raphael's Edible Garden, living near green space often means muddy boots, bikes and outdoor kit, and eaves cupboards can give those things a place.

Mapesbury homes and loft storage
Homes built since 2000 make up about 58% of the housing in the streets around Mapesbury, with about 30% built between 1919 and 1939, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). That matters for eaves cupboards, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. Near the centre of Mapesbury, Historic England’s list includes Roman Catholic Church of St Joseph (Grade II), less than half a mile west. Listing covers the inside of a building as well as the outside, so works that affect a listed home’s character, like removing original joinery, may need listed building consent. The council’s conservation officer is the person to ask before work starts. About 58% of homes around Mapesbury were built since 2000, well above the figure for Brent as a whole, about 23%, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. That makes plasterboard stud walls and compact rooms more likely, which shapes the fixings and sizes.
For a flat near Wembley Stadium station, the lift, the stair turns and the front door all set the largest piece that can come in. For an older house near St Michael the Archangel, sloping ceilings in a loft room suit wardrobes cut to the angle.

Before and after fitting day
Because fitted furniture stays put, a little upkeep goes a long way. Here are a few tips worth knowing:
- Think about how you’ll reach into the eaves
- Let us know about parking near your home
- Think about hanging space for a loft bedroom
- Bring paint colours you like to the design visit
Small marks on a hand-painted finish can be touched in. It is worth keeping a record of the paint colour. Should you have a question about the storage, send us a few details through our contact form and we’ll help.
Temperatures in a loft room can swing more than elsewhere. Keep the room ventilated. It helps the storage stay in good condition.
What it’s made from
Plinths and scribe strips
Scribe strips are trimmed to follow the wall and the slope. They’re one reason fitted storage looks built in. At floor level, the plinth hides any slope in the floor.
Moisture-resistant MDF
In a loft, stability matters, and moisture-resistant MDF is stable. It gives a smooth base for paint. It forms the doors and panels.

How fitting day works
Fitting day follows a set order: we protect the floors, bring the sections in, set them level, scribe them to the walls, fix them and finish them. At the end, we tidy up and go over the work with you. How long the fitting takes depends on the length of the eaves and the design, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Parking at newer developments can be restricted, with private bays or loading areas, so it helps to let us know during the design visit. On fitting day, the sections are carried in, assembled and fixed. Saturday fitting is possible by arrangement.
- First you let us know about the loft room and what you’d like to store there.
- We come to measure the room and the way up to it, and discuss the design.
- A written quote follows, with the design, finish and fitting days set out.
- Your storage is made at our workshop and painted to your chosen colour.
- We carry it up, fit it and leave it ready to use.
How to prepare
- Empty the space we will be working in
- Have your electrician move any sockets or switches beforehand
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
Getting a quote
Rough measurements are fine at the start. Everything is measured properly when we visit, including how level the floor and ceiling are. To get started, send us a few details through our contact form and let us know about the room. The written quote follows the visit.

Common questions about loft storage
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Wembley Stadium station?
Yes. We cover all of Brent and the rest of London. You can tell us about the room on our contact form to arrange a design visit.
I live in a flat in Mapesbury. How will the furniture get up the stairs?
At the design visit, we measure the way in along with the room itself. Eaves cupboards are made in our workshop in sections sized to fit that route, then assembled in your flat. It is useful to check any building rules and your lease before fitting day.
Can you fit furniture to uneven walls?
Walls and floors that aren’t true are part of the job in older homes. The furniture is scribed to follow the walls and levelled on feet or a plinth, so there are no gaps at the sides.
Do you do the loft conversion too?
No, the conversion itself is not our work. We design and fit storage once the room is in place, from eaves cupboards to wardrobes under the slopes.
Do photos help?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit, along with rough sizes. It’s useful to show radiators, sockets and anything else on the wall.
What if the wall is cold or damp?
It can be done with some care: leaving ventilation behind and inside helps stop condensation. Damp treatment isn’t something we do, so any damp needs sorting first.
