Loft storage designed for your room
Looking after your furniture
Fresh paintwork takes a while to cure fully, so go gently with it for a while. Beyond that, these tips help:
- Check the route up to the loft
- Count the clothes you will need to hang
- Find out what’s behind the eaves, from insulation to vents
- Choose a calm colour for the loft
We open each door and run each drawer with you before we go. If there’s an access door to the eaves, we make sure it opens fully. You’ll know it all works as it should.
Keep sharp or very heavy items away from the painted fronts. Put tools in a case so they do not knock the paint. Minor chips can be touched up with the matching colour.
About our loft storage in Marylebone
Our work is in loft rooms that are already converted, or lofts that are boarded. The conversion itself isn’t our work, and conversions come under Building Regulations. With the room in place, we can plan the storage. If you have a converted loft in Marylebone, the design visit is the first step. If your home has wasted space behind the knee walls and boxes piled on loft boards, that’s what eaves cupboards are for, made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand.
A large share of the homes around Marylebone were built before 1919, and houses of that age are full of tricky spaces: under the stairs, in the bay, along the hall and under the eaves of a converted loft. That’s where fitted storage comes in, made to follow walls that are seldom true.
Materials are named in the quote: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, each used where it suits the job. It also says how the furniture will be finished: spray painted or hand painted.

FAQs: loft storage in Marylebone
Does a conservation area in or near Marylebone affect fitted furniture?
Typically not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different, as works inside that affect their character can need listed building consent from the council. If you’re unsure, the council can confirm.
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Marylebone?
It can be: much of inner London is covered by controlled parking zones. A van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a parking bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. It’s useful to let us know about parking at the measuring visit.
Can you fit furniture on an external wall?
It can be done with some care: leaving ventilation behind and inside helps stop condensation. We do not treat damp, so any damp should be sorted before fitting day.
Do you do plastering or decorating?
No. We don’t plaster or decorate, so any work on the walls is for a plasterer or decorator. The furniture is finished by spray or by hand, as agreed in your quote.
Does someone need to be home during the fitting?
Someone needs to be there to let us in. After that, you don’t need to stay in the room.
Will you travel outside London?
No. We work in London and nowhere else, across all the boroughs and the City of London.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
A standalone wardrobe can go with you when you move. Fitted storage stays put, and it makes far more of the loft. Which suits you depends on your plans. Standard units assume square rooms, and period homes seldom have them, so you end up with gaps, wobbles and units that do not meet the skirting. Fitted pieces follow the wall and sit level.
Access to the room makes a difference too. Narrow halls, tight stairs or a small lift may mean the furniture is made in more sections, and that is part of the price. The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose.

Fitting day, step by step
In older rooms, the furniture typically has to meet skirting, picture rails, cornice or coving. We cut and scribe the furniture around them on site. The time the fitting takes depends on the shape of the room and the number of cupboards and drawers, and your quote sets out the fitting days. In a period home, the furniture is fitted to walls that aren’t straight, so there’s some trimming and adjusting on site. Floors are protected, and dust is kept down as far as possible. It helps to tell us about parking during the design visit, as terraced streets are often busy.
- You get in touch with some details about the loft room, whether it’s a converted room or a boarded space.
- We visit to measure and look at what’s behind the knee walls.
- Your quote sets out the design, the materials and the finish. You can ask us about any of it.
- We make the cupboards and drawers in our workshop, cut to the slope.
- We fit it in your home and leave it ready to use.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any meters, fuse boards or boilers in the area
- Keep pets in another room while we work
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall
Starting with a design visit
A quote begins with some details from you: which room it is, rough measurements and a couple of pictures if you can take them. When you are ready, drop us a line using the contact form. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and go through the design, then send a written quote.

Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
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, and it’s easy to buy.
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.
Materials and finishes
Hand-painted finish
Hand painting gives a slightly softer look than spraying. It’s done on site, in the colour you choose. It can match the skirting and doors.
Plinths and scribe strips
In a loft room, walls, slopes and floors are rarely straight. We use scribe strips and a plinth to take up the difference. That keeps the lines neat all round.
Loft storage in Marylebone: local notes
About 50% of the homes in the area around Marylebone went up before 1919, and about 15% between 1919 and 1939, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. The age of a home tells us a lot about its walls, floors and ceilings, and so about how eaves cupboards are fixed and fitted. Part of Marylebone is in the Harley Street Conservation Area, one of the conservation areas recorded by Historic England. The controls in a conservation area are mostly about the outside of buildings, so furniture fitted inside a house does not normally need planning permission. The council can confirm if you are not sure. The boroughs run controlled parking zones across much of inner London. In Marylebone, a van will usually need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay, and the council arranges suspensions, often with notice. We ask about parking during the design visit, so the van can be planned for.
If you live in a period home close to Russian chapel on Welbeck Street, eaves cupboards in a converted loft are scribed to slopes that are rarely even. Near listed buildings like Chandos House, less than half a mile north-east of the centre of Marylebone, older homes may keep original joinery that eaves cupboards can be designed around. If your own home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original features. If you live in a flat close to Bond Street station, each piece is planned so it can be carried up and joined together in the room.
