About under-stairs storage in Hammersmith and Fulham
In many terraced houses, the gas meter, electricity meter or fuse board sits under the stairs. These must stay easy to reach for meter readers and engineers. We plan the storage around them, normally with a door that leaves them in clear reach, so you gain storage without losing access. If you are not sure what’s under your stairs in Hammersmith and Fulham, we’ll look when we visit. We make under-stairs cupboards from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed, and people most often get in touch about an under-stairs cupboard full of clutter and needing a compact spot for a laptop.
In older rooms, the furniture typically has to meet skirting, picture rails, cornice or coving. On fitting day, we cut and scribe the furniture around these details, so it looks as though it was always there. How long the fitting takes depends on the size of the space and the design, and your quote sets out the fitting days.
- You get in touch and tell us a little about the space under your stairs, and whether the meters or fuse board are in there.
- We come to measure, note any meters or fuse boards and go through the design.
- We send a written quote setting out the design, materials and finish, for you to read through.
- Your storage is built in our workshop and painted to the colour you chose.
- The storage is fitted in your home and checked, drawer by drawer.
How our quotes work
What goes inside matters as much as the outside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers all add work. We’ll talk through what you need inside at the design visit, then set it out in the quote.

Under-stairs storage for homes across Hammersmith and Fulham
In the flats and conversions around Hammersmith and Fulham, storage is often the thing people are shortest of. Under-stairs cupboards can add it without taking over the room, with sections sized for the stairs and lift.
Homes built before 1919 make up about 56% of the housing in Hammersmith and Fulham, with about 16% built since 2000, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. About 56% of homes in Hammersmith and Fulham were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Under the stairs in an older terrace is often where the meters or the fuse board are, so the design keeps them accessible. About 26% of households in Hammersmith and Fulham live in flats in converted or shared houses, the 2021 Census shows. 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’s worth checking yours first.
In London, the route into a home matters as much as the room, so the way in is measured along with the room.
Fulham: For an older house near St. Peter's Church, pull-out drawers can reach right to the back of a deep under-stairs space. If you live near Parsons Green (park), living near green space often means muddy boots, bikes and outdoor kit, and under-stairs cupboards can give those things a place.
What it costs
Several things affect the price:
- The overall size of the piece
- The number of doors and drawers
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
The finish affects the cost: spray painting is done in the workshop, while hand painting can be done on site. Your choice, along with the size and the fittings, is reflected in the written quote.
Before the design visit
A little information at the start saves time later. Where you can, include:
- Examples of the look you’re after
- What the furniture needs to hold
- Pictures showing the full wall, from floor to ceiling
- Rough sizes, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
To make a start, get in touch through our contact form and tell us which room you have in mind and what you want the furniture to do. We then arrange a design visit to measure and go through the design, and send you a written quote afterwards.
Boards, parts and paint
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. They can hold shoes, the vacuum or cleaning things.
Spray-painted finish
Spray painting gives the fronts a very even surface. It is applied in our workshop, so treat it gently while it cures fully.
Is bespoke worth it?
Off-the-shelf storage comes in the colours the maker offers. Bespoke storage can be painted in the colour you choose, by spray or by hand, so it can match the hall, the stairs or the woodwork.
What to check before you book
- A written quote that sets out the job
- Will the doors close with even gaps?
- Real projects you can actually look at
- Are the boards named, like MDF or plywood?
Flats, conversions and lettings
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. Lifts sometimes need to be booked, and the lift size helps decide how big each section can be. Mention it when you contact us.
Landlords furnishing a let use fitted furniture too. It’s made from the same moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood as any of our work, with a spray or hand-painted finish.
Flat-pack or bespoke?
Off-the-shelf cupboards come in fixed sizes, so there’s typically a gap left over at the top or at one end. Furniture we make is built to the room’s own sizes, so it can run to the ceiling and fill the width.
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. We design shelves with that in mind.
Common questions about under-stairs storage
Do photos help?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit. It helps to show radiators, sockets and anything else on the wall.
Do you cover Hammersmith and Fulham?
Yes. Our area is the whole of London: every borough and the City of London, Hammersmith and Fulham included.
What if the wall is cold or damp?
It can be done with some care: leaving ventilation behind and inside helps stop condensation. Damp treatment is not something we do, so any damp needs sorting first.
How is under-stairs storage priced?
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. It comes down to the size of the space, how many drawers and doors you want, and the finish. To get a quote, get in touch through our contact form and we’ll arrange a design visit.
What if my walls and floors are out of level?
It’s something we deal with all the time. We trim the edges to follow the wall and level the base, so it sits tight to the room.
Do you do the electrics?
No. Sockets, switches and lighting are for your electrician, and some electrical work in homes is covered by Part P of the Building Regulations. We’ll design around them.
What happens during the design visit?
We take full measurements, look at the walls and floors and work through the design together. Access and parking are worth talking about too, and a quote in writing follows.
