Shelving and storage

Shelving and Storage Fitting in Chelsea

Floating shelves, alcove units and fitted storage, measured and fixed properly for the wall you actually have.

Chelsea properties come with a mix of wall types: solid Victorian brick, stud partitions, lath and plaster. Getting shelving to stay level and load-bearing means using the right fixings for that wall, not a generic kit. We check the wall before we drill, and tell you honestly what weight a shelf can hold.

From a single floating shelf to a full run of alcove storage either side of a chimney breast, we plan the layout with you first so everything lines up.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you fit shelves into a stud wall?

Yes. We locate the studs or use suitable cavity fixings rated for the weight you need to store, and will tell you if a stud wall cannot safely take a particular load.

Do you supply the shelves or fit ones I already own?

Both. We can fit shelving you have already bought, or advise on suitable materials and brackets if you would like us to source them.

Will you patch and make good afterwards?

Yes, any redundant holes or fixings are filled and left tidy as standard.
