About our loft storage in Tower Hill
Getting furniture up to a loft room is part of the planning. At the design visit, we measure the stairs and landings as well as the loft, so the sections we make in our workshop can be carried up. It’s a step that matters for any loft in Tower Hill. We make eaves cupboards from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand, and people most often get in touch about a loft room that still feels unfinished and no wardrobe that fits under the slope.
A large share of the homes around Tower Hill date from 2000 onwards, and in a newer house with a converted loft, the eaves and slopes are worth using. We build storage in lofts that are already converted or boarded. Wherever they go, eaves cupboards are fixed to suit the wall.
Materials are named in the quote: moisture-resistant MDF, birch plywood or both, depending on the design. The finish is stated too, whether that is spray painting or hand painting.

Tower Hill homes and loft storage
Homes built since 2000 make up about 49% of the housing in the area around Tower Hill, with about 23% built between 1973 and 1999, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. It is a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. The National Heritage List has 257 entries within half a mile of the centre of Tower Hill. Older homes nearby may have original joinery, shutters or panelling worth keeping, and the furniture can be designed around them rather than over them. Controlled parking zones cover much of inner London, and each borough runs its own. That usually means a van in Tower Hill needs a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension through the council. Tell us what parking is near you at the measuring visit.
For a flat near London Fenchurch Street station, eaves cupboards are made in sections sized for the stairs, landings and lift, so measuring the route matters as much as measuring the room. If you live near William Curtis Ecological Park, eaves cupboards can be designed to hold outdoor kit, from walking boots to picnic things.
Tower Hill is about 1 mile north-east of Whitechapel, part of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. We work across all London boroughs and the City of London, and Tower Hill is part of that. Across Tower Hamlets, we cover Tower Hill and the places around it.
In SE1, E1 and E1W, the process is the same as anywhere else in London. Our area takes in homes on streets like Bush Lane, Swan Lane and Mark Lane, for loft storage and any of our other fitted furniture. Tower Hill is near the A3 and A10; on busy main roads, unloading eaves cupboards takes a little planning. We also cover Aldgate (1 mile north), Bishopsgate (1 mile north), Spitalfields (1 mile north), Whitechapel (1 mile north-east) and St George in the East (1 mile east). Across the rest of Tower Hamlets, our area takes in Bethnal Green (2 miles north-east), Cambridge Heath (2 miles north-east), Mile End (2 miles north-east), Bow Common (2 miles east), Bromley (3 miles north-east) and Limehouse (2 miles east). Being one of the larger places in Tower Hamlets, Tower Hill is covered for loft storage and everything else we make.
Near you in Tower Hill
Our area takes in the homes around St Michael's Catholic College, Bishopsgate Institute Special Collections and Archives and Fund Academy. You will also find St Mary-at-Hill (less than half a mile north-west) and The Liberty Bounds pub (within half a mile north). There’s a railway station in Tower Hill itself: London Fenchurch Street station. Well-known places in the area include Gabriel's Wharf (1.3 miles west) and London Bridge Hospital (within half a mile south-west). Green spaces nearby include Ludgate Hill.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Off-the-shelf wardrobes often don’t fit up narrow loft stairs. We make each piece in sections that fit up the stairs. That makes it possible to fit large pieces in a small loft. Separate ready-made pieces can make an open-plan room feel unplanned, while fitted furniture can give the space structure.
The inside of the furniture affects the price as well: drawers take more making than shelves, and each rail, divider or pull-out adds to the work. At the design visit, we work out what you need inside, and the quote follows.
Why work with us in Tower Hill
- Built from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood
- Workshop-made and fitted by us
- Every quote follows a design visit
- Spray painted or hand painted, in the colour you choose
See how bespoke compares with ready-made and what a quote should include.
When is bespoke worth it?
Shop-bought shelves can sag over a long span. Span, depth and the weight on it decide whether a shelf sags, so a long run needs a thicker shelf, a stiffening lip or a support. We design shelves with that in mind.
Where bespoke earns its keep is in rooms that are not square. Older London rooms tend to have leaning walls, sloping floors and alcoves of different widths, and standard units leave gaps.
Pricing loft storage in Tower Hill
When we put a quote together, we consider:
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- The overall size of the piece
- Spray painting or hand painting
- The internal fittings
Rooms that are not square take more work: uneven walls, sloping floors and angled ceilings all add scribing and cutting on site. The quote allows for it, which we write after seeing the room.
Getting in touch
These details help when you get in touch:
- Anything in the way, like radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
- Examples of the look you’re after
- Approximate measurements of the space
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
To make a start, message us from the contact page and tell us a little about the room. We then arrange a design visit to measure and discuss the design, and a written quote follows.
How fitting works for loft storage
Before anything is fixed, we set the furniture level. Floors are often out of level, so adjustable feet or a plinth take up the difference. After that, it is fixed to the wall using fixings that suit the wall, whether that’s solid brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard. Walls in newer homes are often plasterboard on studs, so on fitting day heavy pieces go into the studs or stand on the floor. Floors are protected throughout, as many newer homes have finished floors that mark easily, and dust is kept to a minimum.
- To begin, drop us a line using the contact form; a brief note on the loft and the storage you want is enough.
- 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.
- Your written quote sets out the storage and the finish.
- The storage is made at our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, cut to the angles we measured.
- We fit the storage in the loft, trimming the edges so they meet the ceiling neatly, with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
How to prepare
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture
- Check the building’s rules for trades and lift bookings
Starting with a design visit
You don’t need exact measurements to get started. We measure everything properly during the design visit, including how level the floor and ceiling are. To get started, send us a few details through our contact form with some details about the room. You receive a written quote after the visit.

Questions from Tower Hill
Do you cover homes near London Fenchurch Street station?
Yes. We cover all of Tower Hamlets and the rest of London. To get started, you can drop us a line using the contact form with a few details about the room.
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Tower Hill?
It can be: much of inner London is covered by controlled parking zones. A van may need a visitor permit, a pay-and-display bay or a suspended bay, which the council arranges, often with notice. It is useful to tell us about parking at the design visit.
Do I get to choose the colour?
You choose it. The paint colour is agreed with you.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
Someone needs to be there to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How long will the loft storage fitting take?
How long fitting takes depends on the shape of the room and the number of cupboards and drawers, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Because everything is built in our workshop, the work in your home is the fitting itself. We keep the route up to the loft as clear as possible.
Can the fitting be on a Saturday?
Yes, Saturdays are possible by prior arrangement. Just mention it when you get in touch, and we’ll see what we can do.

Why people ask for loft storage in Tower Hill
A sloping ceiling makes a standard wardrobe impossible. Bespoke wardrobes follow the slope. It’s often the main reason people get in touch about a loft bedroom.
If any of these sound familiar, it is worth getting in touch:
- A sloping ceiling with no room for a wardrobe
- Wasted space behind the knee walls
- A converted loft with no fitted furniture
- Ready-made wardrobes too big for the stairs
For an older house near Church of St Peter ad Vincula, the knee walls of a converted loft can take drawers as well as cupboards.
