Pricing loft storage in Somers Town
Every room is different, so every job is quoted on its own. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the furniture is
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
- How square the room is
- Parking near your home
Every room is priced on its own, because the size, the layout and the finish all vary. Spray painting and hand painting are different processes, which affects the cost. The figure comes in your written quote after the design visit.
Helping us understand the room
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Rough measurements, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- Any ideas or images you have saved
- What the furniture needs to hold
- A few photos of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. Each room is different, so we quote after seeing it, once the room is measured and the design talked through. To arrange a visit, fill in our short enquiry form.
Loft storage in Somers Town
Loft rooms are often bedrooms, so storage for clothes matters. Wardrobes under the slope, drawers in the knee wall and shelves in the dormer can all work together. Planned together, they make the room feel ordered. We design them around what you need to store in Somers Town. People typically come to us about nowhere to store bags and boxes 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.
In a flat without a loft, storage has to be found in the hall, the recesses and the rooms themselves. With most households around Somers Town in purpose-built flats, that’s often the starting point. A shallow cupboard in a hall or a seat with drawers can hold a surprising amount.
You get the quote in writing, so there’s time to read it properly and talk it over at home. It covers the design, materials and finish agreed at the visit.

Common questions about loft storage
Will a conservation area stop me having loft storage fitted in Somers Town?
Typically not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different, as works inside that affect their character may need listed building consent from the council. If you’re unsure, the council can confirm.
Do you make loft storage for homes in Somers Town?
Yes. We cover all of Camden and the rest of London, and Somers Town is part of that. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, followed by a quote.
How long does it take to fit loft storage?
How long fitting takes depends on how much storage you want in the loft, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Because everything is made in our workshop, the work in your home is the fitting itself. We keep the route up to the loft as clear as possible.
Do pictures help?
Yes, they help. Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling, give us a good idea of the space, especially with rough sizes. To send them, message us from the contact page.
Can you come on a Saturday?
Yes, we can arrange Saturdays. Let us know when you first get in touch.
What are your eaves cupboards made from?
Our loft storage is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, then painted. Both are stable, which matters in a loft room. The materials and finish are agreed in your quote.
Somers Town homes and loft storage
The biggest shares of homes in the area around Somers Town were built before 1919 (about 32%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 23%), according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. 19 conservation areas have at least part of their area less than a mile from the middle of Somers Town. Historic England says England has around 10,000, and the controls mainly cover the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. Near central London, streets tend to be narrow and busy, so the route from the van to your door is planned in advance.
For a family home near St Mary and St Pancras Church of England Primary School, eaves cupboards can be planned around what a family needs to keep, from coats and bags to sports kit. For a flat near London Euston station, check any building rules on lifts and working hours early, and the sections will be sized for the way in. Near listed buildings like Church of St Pancras, under half a mile south of the centre of Somers Town, 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.
Somers Town is about 1 mile south-east of St Pancras, within the London Borough of Camden. Our work covers every London borough and the City of London, Somers Town included. Our work takes in places right across Camden, large and small.

Around Somers Town, we cover homes near Prince Arthur pub, UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies and Wellcome Collection. There’s a railway station in Somers Town itself: London Euston station. Nearby you’ll also find Elizabeth Garrett Anderson and Obstetric Hospital (under half a mile south-east) and People’s Museum Somers Town (a few minutes’ walk east). Green spaces nearby include Primrose Hill and Barnsbury Wood.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Shop-bought shelves can sag over a long span. How much a shelf bends depends on its span, depth and load, and long runs need a thicker shelf, a lip along the front or a support. We design shelves with that in mind.
Where bespoke earns its keep is in rooms that aren’t square. In period homes, walls lean, floors slope and the alcoves on each side are often different widths, and standard units leave gaps.
What happens on fitting day
On the morning of the fitting, we start by protecting your floors and the route from the front door to the room. Next, we carry in the sections made at our workshop, a piece at a time. The time the fitting takes depends on how much storage you want in the loft, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Sections come into the flat in the order they’re fitted, so the flat doesn’t fill up. We protect the floors and keep dust to a minimum. The fixings suit each wall, whether solid or stud.
- You get in touch and describe the loft room, its slopes and any dormer.
- We visit to measure the slopes and eaves and talk through cupboards, drawers and wardrobes under them.
- A written quote follows, with the design, materials and finish.
- The storage is made at our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, cut to the angles we measured.
- On fitting day the units are set level and scribed to the slope and the knee wall.
Before fitting day
- If you live in a block, book the lift and tell the building manager
- Have your electrician move any sockets or switches beforehand
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through

Practical tips
Fresh paintwork takes a while to cure fully, so go gently with it for a while. After that, a few simple habits help:
- Consider drawers for the deep, low spaces
- Think about what will go in each cupboard or drawer
- Think about matching the woodwork or the walls
- Tell us about parking during the design visit
Heavy items are best kept in the lower parts of the storage. It helps the runners and keeps the storage working well. Shelves are made for what you told us you’d store.
Avoid overloading drawers so they keep running smoothly. A quick sort every so often helps. Keep the heaviest things near the floor.
