About our under-stairs storage in Agar Town
Some under-stairs spaces are open enough for a small desk. We can build a desk with shelves above and a drawer or two below. Any new socket or light there is for your electrician, and we leave room and a route for the cable. We will look at whether it suits your stairs when we visit in Agar Town. We make under-stairs cupboards from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand, and the usual reasons to get in touch are an old cupboard door that doesn’t suit the hall and a sloping corner nobody can reach.
Most households around Agar Town live in purpose-built flats, and in a flat, the hall, the recesses and the windows are where extra storage typically goes. Under-stairs cupboards are made in sections that fit the stairs, lift and doors, then assembled in place. Boilers and fuse boards in a hall cupboard keep the access and ventilation they need.
Once you have read the quote and decided to go ahead, the furniture is made in our workshop. It describes the design, the materials and the finish agreed at the visit, so every detail can be checked first.

Common questions about under-stairs storage
Can you make under-stairs storage for a home in Agar Town?
Yes, we work across Camden, Agar Town included, and across the rest of London. You can get in touch through our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Is parking a problem for fitting in Agar Town?
It can be, as controlled parking zones cover much of inner London. A van may need a visitor’s permit, a paid parking bay or a bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. It helps to let us know about parking at the design visit.
Are drawers or cupboards better under the stairs?
Often a mix works best. Drawers make the most of the low, deep end of the space, and a cupboard at the tall end handles taller things. We talk it through at the design visit.
How much does under-stairs storage cost?
Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit. The size of the space, the number of drawers and doors, and the finish all shape the price. For a quote, use our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Is it possible to match the colour of my hallway?
Yes. The storage is spray-painted or hand-painted in a colour agreed with you. You can match it to the walls, the banisters or the skirting, so it looks like part of the house.
Do you move sockets or add lighting?
No. Any new wiring, sockets or lights need an electrician, and some electrical work in homes is covered by Part P of the Building Regulations. We will design around them.
Making use of tricky spaces in Agar Town
Homes built before 1919 make up about 36% of the housing in the area around Agar Town, with about 24% built since 2000, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. It is a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. 15 conservation areas have at least part of their area within a mile of the centre of Agar 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. Flats in converted or shared houses account for about 22% of households in the neighbourhood around Agar Town, in the ONS Census 2021 figures. Conversions often leave rooms in unusual shapes, with partition walls, boxed-in pipes and chimney breasts in odd places, and the way in often goes up shared stairs. A lease can require consent for alterations, so it is worth checking yours first.
Winfield House, about 1.5 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. If your own home is a period one, the triangle under an old staircase is often deeper than it looks. Living in a block of flats near Camden Road station? Then the lift, the stair turns and the front door all set the largest piece that can come in. If your children go to Abacus Belsize Primary School or a school nearby, a place for each person’s coat and shoes stops the hallway filling up.
Agar Town is about 1 mile south-east of St Pancras, part of the London Borough of Camden. Our work covers every London borough and the City of London, Agar Town included. Across Camden, we cover Agar Town.
Design visits and fitting in NW1W, NW1 and N1 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. If your home is on a street like Water Lane, Maiden Lane and Camden Road, or close by, we can visit to measure up for under-stairs storage. Main roads around Agar Town include the A400 and A5200, and we plan where the van can stop before fitting day. We also cover Camden Town (1 mile west), Somers Town (1 mile south), Kings Cross (1 mile south-east), Kentish Town (1 mile north-west) and Barnsbury (1 mile north-east). Across the rest of Camden, our area takes in Hampstead (2 miles north-west), West End (2 miles south), St Giles (2 miles south), Seven Dials (2 miles south), West Hampstead (3 miles north-west) and Holborn (2 miles south-east).
Near you in Agar Town
Our area takes in the homes around North Bridge House School, Golden Lion pub and Regent High School and the streets around them. There is a railway station in Agar Town itself: Camden Road station. Well-known places in the area include Brunswick Centre (1.1 miles south) and St Pancras Hospital (less than half a mile south). For a walk, there is Barnsbury Wood and Primrose Hill.
Is bespoke worth it?
A standard unit knows nothing about your meter or fuse board. Put in the wrong place, it can block the access meter readers and engineers need. Bespoke storage is planned around them from the start. Standard furniture doesn’t allow for boxed-in pipes, risers or meter cupboards, so it ends up with gaps or blocks access. Built-in pieces are designed around them, with access kept.
Rooms that aren’t square take more work: walls that lean, floors that slope and sloping ceilings all mean more scribing and cutting. The quote allows for it.

Boards, parts and paint
Birch plywood
We use birch plywood where strength matters, as it is strong and holds screws firmly. Drawer boxes and carcasses that take a load are often made from it. Its layered edge can be shown or painted.
Pull-out drawers
The back of an under-stairs space is hard to reach, so drawers that slide out are often the answer. Everything is in view when the drawer is open. Shoe drawers, a drawer for the vacuum and drawers for cleaning things are all possible.
How fitting works for under-stairs storage
When the fitting is done, we tidy the room. Before we go, we look over the finished furniture with you. How long the fitting takes depends on how much storage you want under the stairs, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. With little room to spare in a flat, pieces come in as they’re needed. We protect the floors and keep dust to a minimum. Fixings are chosen for each wall, solid or plasterboard.
- To begin, message us from the contact page; a brief note on the space and what it holds now is plenty.
- We visit to measure the slope and the floor, and agree a design that keeps any meter or fuse board accessible.
- A quote in writing follows, setting out the design, materials and finish.
- We make it in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with a door or panel left where the meters need access.
- We fit it in your home, scribed to the stairs and the walls, with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
Preparing the room
- Take anything hanging off the wall we’re fitting to
- Let us know where the boiler and meters are
- Empty the space we will be working in
Ask for a quote
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. Because every room is different, the quote comes after the design visit, once the room is measured and the design talked through. For a quote, get in touch through our contact form.

Flats, conversions and lettings
If you live in a flat, getting the furniture in is planned from the start. We measure the stairs, landings, lift and doorways along with the room itself, so the furniture can be made in sections that fit through.
If your flat is leasehold, check your lease before fixing furniture to the walls. Some leases need the building owner’s consent for alterations, and that’s best sorted before fitting day. We cannot give advice on leases.

What affects the cost of under-stairs storage
Not every room costs the same, for these reasons:
- How square the room is
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
- The overall size of the piece
- The number of doors and drawers
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. The price depends mainly on the size of the piece, how many doors and drawers it has and what goes inside.
What to send when you contact us
What helps most when you first contact us:
- Rough measurements: width, height and depth
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- What the furniture needs to hold
- Any ideas or images you have saved
To get a quote, get in touch through our contact form and let us know which room you have in mind and roughly what you’d like. We then arrange a design visit to measure and go through the design, and send you a quote in writing afterwards.
