How we make under-stairs storage for Haringey
No two staircases are quite the same. The soffit slopes, the stringer sets its own line, and floors are often a little out of level. Each under-stairs cupboard we make follows those lines, so the fronts sit neatly against the stairs. It is the part of the job a boxed unit simply cannot manage. 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 stairs open to a room, with clutter on show and needing a compact spot for a laptop.
When the fitting is done, we tidy the room. Before we go, we look over the finished furniture with you and answer any questions. The time the fitting takes depends on the size of the space and the design, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote.
- You tell us about the stairs and what you’d like to store.
- We measure the space, the slope and the floor, and note any meters or fuse boards, because they must stay accessible.
- The design is agreed and a written quote follows.
- The storage is made in our workshop and painted in your colour.
- The storage is fitted, scribed to the stairs and checked with you. The way to any meters is left clear.
What goes into your quote
Access to the room makes a difference too. Several flights of stairs, a small lift or a narrow hall can mean smaller sections and more carrying. Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured.

Under-stairs storage for homes across Haringey
We make under-stairs storage for homes across Haringey, in Tottenham, Noel Park and Wood Green and beyond. Meters, fuse boards and boilers stay accessible, with the clearances their makers set out. Fixings are chosen for the wall, whatever it’s made of.
Homes built before 1919 make up about 54% of the housing in Haringey, with about 13% built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. About 54% of homes in Haringey were built before 1919, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. Under the stairs in an older terrace is often where the meters or the fuse board are, so the design keeps them accessible. About 24% of households in Haringey live in flats in converted or shared houses, according to Census 2021. In a converted house, rooms can be odd shapes, with new partitions meeting old walls, and the route in may go through a shared hall and stairs. If your flat is leasehold, check your lease before anything is fixed to the walls.
Getting furniture into a London home takes planning, from narrow halls to lifts and parking, so we look at both at the measuring visit.
Tottenham: The wider area includes historic houses such as Bruce Castle, about 0.3 miles west. For a period home anywhere nearby, pull-out drawers can reach right to the back of a deep under-stairs space. If you live in a period home close to Church of St Mary the Virgin, the cupboard door under a period staircase can be kept or replaced to match the new storage.
DIY, flat-pack or bespoke
Long shelves are where off-the-shelf often struggles. 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.
A confident DIYer can manage simple shelves or a standard wardrobe in a square room. Sloping ceilings, uneven floors and lath-and-plaster walls make it harder, where scribing and fixings that suit the wall are important.
What it costs
When we put a quote together, we consider:
- The internal fittings
- Tricky walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
- Parking and unloading on your street
- Doors and drawers, and how many
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. The price depends mainly on the size of the piece, how many doors and drawers it has and what goes inside.
Getting in touch
Before the design visit, it helps us to know about:
- A few pictures of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- How you want to use the space
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
It helps to see the room before we come. Pictures of the whole wall, the corners and the ceiling line give us a good feel for the space, along with rough measurements. To share them, tell us about the room on our contact form, and we’ll suggest a time for a design visit.
The problems under-stairs storage solve
After a hallway is redecorated, an old, tired cupboard under the stairs can stand out. Storage made for the space and painted to suit the hall finishes the job. If decorating is planned, it’s worth mentioning at the design visit so the work can be timed sensibly.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting in touch:
- Cleaning things with no proper home
- A tired under-stairs cupboard that stands out
- Open space under the stairs that collects clutter
- A dark, wasted space under the stairs
Flats, conversions and leaseholders
We also make and fit furniture for landlords furnishing a let, often to make the most of a small or tricky room. The materials are the same as for any home: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with a spray or hand-painted finish.
Many London terraces have been converted into flats, and that often means a shared hallway and a tight turn on the stairs. Each section is sized with that in mind, after measuring the route at the measuring visit.
When you need someone else
Electrics, plumbing, gas, plastering and structural work aren’t part of what we do. Please bear these in mind too:
- Any work on gas pipes or appliances
- Structural changes to the staircase itself
- Changing where a meter sits, which isn’t carpentry
Questions we’re often asked
How is under-stairs storage priced?
Because every job is different, the cost is set out in a written quote after the visit. The mix of drawers, doors and shelves, and the finish you choose, all play a part. We set it all out in a written quote.
Can under-stairs storage work around the fuse board?
Yes. It’s common to find a meter or fuse board under the stairs, and access has to be kept. We note them at the measuring visit and plan the drawers and doors around them. We do not move meters, so the storage works around their current position.
Can you make under-stairs storage for a home in Haringey?
Yes, we do. We design and make under-stairs storage for homes in Haringey, and the process is the same everywhere we go.
How long is the fitting for under-stairs storage?
How long the fitting takes depends on the size of the space and the design, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Because everything is made at our workshop, the work in your home is the fitting itself. We keep the hallway as clear as we can while we work.
Can you fit furniture to uneven walls?
That is normal in older homes, and it is what scribing is for. Edges are scribed to the wall, and adjustable feet or a plinth bring the furniture up to level.
Do I need to be in when you fit?
Someone needs to let us in at the start of the day. It also helps to have someone around at the end, so we can go over the finished furniture together.
Do you do the electrics?
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.
