Loft storage across Harrow: what to expect
Getting furniture up to a loft room is part of the planning. We measure the route not just the room, so the sections we make in our workshop can be carried up. It’s part of the job for any loft room in Harrow. We make eaves cupboards from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish, and people most often get in touch about nowhere to store bags and boxes and no wardrobe that fits under the slope.
Period rooms often have skirting boards, picture rails, cornices or coving for the furniture to meet. We cut and scribe the furniture around them on site, so it looks as though it was always there. How long fitting takes depends on the length of the eaves and the design, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote.
- You tell us about your converted or boarded loft.
- We measure the eaves, the slopes and the stairs up to the loft.
- The design is agreed and a quote in writing follows, with the finish set out.
- Every part is made at our workshop, ready for a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
- The storage is fitted, scribed to the slopes and checked with you.
What affects the price in Harrow
We do not publish set prices, because each job is designed for a single room. We measure up, discuss the design and send a quote in writing. To arrange a design visit, send us a few details through our contact form.

Nearby too are Whitmore High School (close by, under half a mile south-west), Grange Primary School (a few minutes’ walk west) and Northwick Park (1.1 miles east).

Well-known places in the area include Clementine Churchill Hospital (1 mile south-east) and St. George's Shopping Centre (0.7 miles north-east).
Awkward spaces in homes across Harrow
Across Harrow, flats and conversions rarely come with enough storage. Well-planned eaves cupboards can add storage while keeping the room usable.
In Harrow, the largest groups of homes date from between 1919 and 1939 (about 52%) and the years since 2000 (about 15%), going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. We take that into account during the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. About 52% of homes in Harrow date from between 1919 and 1939, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Loft conversions are common in houses of that age, and the eaves can take fitted storage; we build the storage once the loft is converted or boarded. About 48% of households in Harrow live in detached or semi-detached houses, the 2021 Census shows. In a semi or detached house, a driveway, where there is one, can make unloading easier.
Getting furniture into a London home takes planning, from narrow halls to lifts and parking, so the way in is measured along with the room.
Harrow: If you live near Northwick Park, living near green space often means muddy boots, bikes and outdoor kit, and eaves cupboards can give those things a place. Near listed buildings like Parish Church of St Mary, about 0.6 miles east of the centre of Harrow, older homes may keep original joinery that eaves cupboards can be designed around. For a listed home, fixing into original features may need listed building consent.
Honest limits
It is useful to know what’s outside our work before you plan:
- Anything that needs Building Regulations sign-off
- Converting the loft itself, which isn’t our work
- New sockets, lights or wiring, which are for your electrician
Could you do it yourself?
Flat-pack and off-the-shelf furniture has its place. In a room with square walls and standard sizes, it can work well, and it’s quick to buy.
Long shelves are where off-the-shelf often struggles. 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. That is something we plan for in the design.
Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple. What we’d suggest:
- Decide whether you’d prefer drawers, cupboards or both
- Make room so the whole loft can be measured
- Find out what’s behind the eaves, from insulation to vents
- Mention any parking rules on your street
A soft, damp cloth is the best way to keep the storage clean. Avoid scourers and harsh cleaners. The edges around handles are touched most.
Keep the eaves ventilated and avoid pressing things against the back of the space. Insulation pressed flat doesn’t do its job. Damp in the eaves is worth raising with the people who did the conversion.
What affects the price in Harrow
Not every room costs the same, for these reasons:
- What goes inside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
- The width and height of the space
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. Size, the number of doors and drawers and the internal fittings make the biggest difference to the price.
Getting in touch
The more you can tell us at the start, the better the design visit goes. When you contact us, it helps to send:
- Your postcode and the borough
- A few pictures of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
- What the furniture needs to hold
You do not need exact measurements to get started. We measure everything properly at the measuring visit, including how level the floor and ceiling are. To arrange it, tell us about the room on our contact form and let us know about the room. You receive a written quote after the visit.
What prompts loft storage
The most common reason is wasted space. Behind the knee walls, there is space nobody can reach. Cupboards and drawers built into the knee wall put it to work.
Typical reasons people contact us include:
- A loft room with too many jobs
- A boarded loft that is hard to keep organised
- Seasonal things cluttering the loft room
- Wasted space behind the knee walls
Common questions about loft storage
Will you paint the walls around the furniture?
No. Our work is the furniture, not the walls. We finish the furniture itself, as set out in your quote.
Does fitted furniture need planning permission?
Normally not. Inside a house, fitted furniture does not normally need planning permission. Listed buildings can require listed building consent for works that affect their character.
How long is the fitting for eaves storage?
The time the fitting takes depends on the length of the eaves and the design, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. The storage is made in our workshop first, so the time in your home is spent fitting. We work tidily and keep the stairs and landing as clear as we can.
Can I send pictures ahead of the visit?
Yes. They give us a feel for the space before we visit, along with rough measurements. Show anything the furniture has to work around, like radiators or sockets.
How much does loft storage cost?
The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. The size of the room, the amount of storage and the finish all shape the price. For a quote, tell us about the room on our contact form to arrange a design visit.
