Under-stairs storage designed for your room
Under-stairs storage for homes in Brentford
In many terraced houses, the gas meter, electricity meter or fuse board sits under the stairs. They need to stay accessible, so readings and safety checks can still be made. Our designs keep a clear way to them, often behind their own door, so you gain storage without losing access. If you’re not sure what’s under your stairs in Brentford, we’ll look when we visit. If your home has nowhere to put coats, shoes and bags and space under the stairs that’s hard to use, under-stairs cupboards made from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish can solve it.
Floors in newer homes are often finished and easy to mark, so they’re protected while storage is fitted. Around Brentford, many homes date from 2000 onwards, and stud walls there take fixings chosen for the board. Skirting can be scribed around, or the storage can sit on its own plinth.
The quote comes in writing, so you can read it at your own pace and talk it over at home. It records the design, the materials and the finish we discussed.

Do you need under-stairs storage in Brentford?
Sometimes the reason is a meter reading or an engineer’s visit, and the struggle to reach the meter. Planned storage can leave a clear path to the meter or fuse board, and the rest of the space can still work hard.
Most of the enquiries we get are about needs like these:
- Open space under the stairs that collects clutter
- Coats and shoes piling up in the hall
- No room for a small desk or a place to work
- A meter or fuse board buried behind clutter
If you live in a flat close to Brentford station, each piece is planned so it can be carried up and joined together in the room.
What to check before you book
- Whether the quote says what the furniture is made from

Brentford homes and under-stairs storage
In the neighbourhood around Brentford, the largest groups of homes date from the years since 2000 (about 38%) and before 1919 (about 23%), in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Brentford include Church of St Lawrence (Grade II*), about 0.5 miles south-west, and Aroid House Number 1 (Grade II*), about 0.6 miles south-east. Listing covers the inside of a building as well as the outside, so works that affect a listed home’s character, like removing original joinery, can need listed building consent. The council’s conservation officer is the person to ask before work starts. Since the zone was extended to the outer boroughs in August 2023, the whole of London has been inside the ULEZ. So any van that delivers or fits furniture in Brentford is covered by it. Access and parking are talked through at the measuring visit.
If you live near Kew Green, under-stairs cupboards can be designed to hold outdoor kit, from walking boots to picnic things. Kew Palace, about 0.5 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. For a period home anywhere nearby, the triangle under an old staircase is often deeper than it looks.
Brentford is about 3 miles south-west of Hounslow, part of the London Borough of Hounslow. Wherever you are in Brentford, the process is the same: a design visit, a quote in writing, furniture made in our workshop and fitting in your home. Across Hounslow, we cover Brentford and the places around it.
In TW8, W3, W4 and W5, the process is the same as anywhere else in London. Whether you live on a street such as High Street, Market Place and New Road or on one nearby, we can arrange a design visit for under-stairs storage. Brentford sits close to the A4 and A315. If you are just outside Brentford, we also cover Brentford End (1 mile south-west), Northfields (1 mile north-west), Gillette Corner (1 mile west), Isleworth (2 miles south-west) and Spring Grove (2 miles west). We also make under-stairs storage in nearby places like Hounslow (3 miles south-west), Feltham (6 miles south-west), Chiswick (2 miles east), Woodlands (2 miles south-west), Lampton (3 miles west) and Hounslow West (4 miles west). As one of the bigger places in Hounslow, Brentford is covered for all of our fitted furniture.
Landmarks near Brentford
Around Brentford, we cover homes near Library for Iranian Studies, Kew College Prep and Brentford School for Girls. There’s a railway station in Brentford itself: Brentford station. Well-known places in the area include West Middlesex University Hospital (1.4 miles south-west) and Musical Museum (0.5 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Kew Gardens Lake.
Flats, leases and landlords
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. If there’s a lift, it may need booking, and its size matters when we plan the sections. Tell us about it when you contact us.
Many London terraces have been converted into flats, which often brings a shared hall and tight turns on the stairs. We plan the size of each section around it, once we have measured the way in.
What affects the price in Brentford
The price reflects the time and materials the job needs. The main factors are:
- The internal fittings
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
- How square the room is
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
In London, parking can affect the price. The boroughs run controlled parking zones across much of the city, so we may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay. It’s useful to talk about parking at the measuring visit, so it can be planned.
What we need to know
These details help when you get in touch:
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
- Your postcode and the borough
- Pictures showing the full wall, from floor to ceiling
- Rough measurements, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
Rough measurements are fine at the start. Everything is measured properly when we visit, along with the walls, floor and ceiling. To arrange it, tell us about the room on our contact form with a few details about the room. The written quote follows the visit.
Common questions about under-stairs storage
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Brentford?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. Depending on the street, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed, and suspensions often need notice. It helps to let us know about parking at the design visit.
Is Brentford in the area you cover for under-stairs storage?
Yes, we work across Hounslow, Brentford included, and across the rest of London. To get started, you can tell us about the room on our contact form with some details.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
Someone needs to be there to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work, but it helps to be around at the end.
Which works best under the stairs, drawers or cupboards?
The answer depends on your stairs and what you’ll keep there. Drawers make the low end useful, because you pull the back of the space to you. Cupboards suit the tall end, for coats or a vacuum cleaner.
Should I send pictures?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit, along with rough sizes. Show anything the furniture has to work around, like radiators or sockets.
How is under-stairs storage priced?
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. Drawers usually involve more work than plain shelving, and the finish makes a difference too. We set it all out in a written quote.
What happens on fitting day
When the fitting is done, we tidy the room and lift the floor protection. Before we go, we look over the finished furniture with you and answer any questions. The time the fitting takes depends on the shape of the space and the number of drawers and doors, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. In a newer development, the lift, the concierge and set working hours may all need checking, so check them with the managing agent before fitting day. The furniture is built in sections that fit the lift and doorways.
- To begin, send us a few details through our contact form; 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.
- You receive a written quote for the storage.
- We make it in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with a door or panel left where the meters need access.
- The storage is fitted and set level, and the meter access is checked with you.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
- Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician ahead of time
Arranging a design visit
We quote once we have seen the room. We measure the space, check the walls and floors and discuss what you’d like, then send a written quote. The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. To book a design visit, message us from the contact page.
