How fitting day works
There isn’t much for you to do on fitting day. Someone needs to let us in, and the room should already be cleared. From there, we protect the floors, bring the furniture in and get on with the fitting. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the space and the design, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. In a 1920s or 1930s house, the hall and stairs are typically simple, but the route in is still measured, not just the room. Under-stairs cupboards arrive in sections and are assembled in place, with floors protected throughout.
- 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.
- We talk through drawers, cupboards and coat storage, and send a written quote.
- Every part is built in our workshop, ready for a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
- The storage is fitted, scribed to the stairs and checked with you. The way to any meters is left clear.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
Starting with a design visit

How we make under-stairs storage for Brunswick Park
In a narrow hallway, the stairs may offer the only spare room for coats and shoes. A hanging section, shoe drawers and a shelf for keys keep everything off the floor. Painted in a colour you choose, it reads as part of the house rather than a piece of furniture. For a home in Brunswick Park, it can make the front door feel far calmer. If your home has cleaning things with no proper home and needing a compact spot for a laptop, under-stairs cupboards made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand can solve it.
Around Brunswick Park, with interwar houses or semis making up much of the housing, the hallway may be wider than in a Victorian terrace, with room for a cupboard by the door. Bays at the front suit a seat with storage below, with a grille where there’s a radiator underneath. Under-stairs cupboards are measured and made for the house you have.
A written quote is the clearest record of what we’ve agreed. It sets out the under-stairs cupboard designed for your room, its materials and its finish.

Under-stairs storage in Brunswick Park: local notes
Homes built between 1919 and 1939 make up about 60% of the housing in the area around Brunswick Park, with about 13% built between 1945 and 1972, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. That matters for under-stairs cupboards, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. About 48% of households in the area around Brunswick Park live in detached or semi-detached houses, going by Census 2021 figures from the ONS. In a semi or detached house, a driveway, where there is one, can make unloading easier. More than half of the homes in the streets around Brunswick Park (about 60%) date from between 1919 and 1939, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. In many interwar houses the space under the stairs holds the meters or the fuse board, so the design keeps them reachable.
Close to Friary Park? Under-stairs cupboards can be designed to hold outdoor kit, from walking boots to picnic things. For families living near St Andrew the Apostle Greek Orthodox School, a place for each person’s coat and shoes stops the hallway filling up. For an older house near Oakleigh Community Church, the triangle under an old staircase is often deeper than it looks.

Bespoke under-stairs storage or ready-made?
For a few hooks and a shelf for the vacuum, a ready-made solution can do the job. Bespoke work earns its place when you want to use the whole space, from the tall end to the lowest corner. We are happy to talk through which suits you at the design visit. Walls in interwar houses are straighter than in older ones, but rarely perfect, so standalone furniture can still lean or leave gaps. Built-in pieces are adjusted to the room on site.
No two rooms cost the same to furnish, because size, layout and finish change from job to job. Spray painting and hand painting are different processes, which affects the cost. The figure comes in your written quote after the design visit.

Other services in Brunswick Park
Could you do it yourself?
Bespoke work comes into its own in rooms that are not square. Older London rooms tend to have leaning walls, sloping floors and alcoves of different widths, and standard units leave gaps.
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.
Questions from Brunswick Park
Do you make under-stairs storage for homes in Brunswick Park?
Yes. Brunswick Park is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Barnet and London. You can tell us about the room on our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Brunswick Park?
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. Let us know what parking is near you during the design visit.
Which works best under the stairs, drawers or cupboards?
Often a mix works best. Deep pull-out drawers suit the shallow end under the bottom steps, and a cupboard at the tall end handles taller things. We talk it through at the design visit.
What if my walls and floors are out of level?
Uneven walls are normal in older London homes, and the furniture is made to deal with them. Edges are scribed to the wall, and adjustable feet or a plinth bring the furniture up to level.
How long is the fitting for under-stairs storage?
The time the fitting takes depends on how much storage you want under the stairs, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. We make every part in our workshop, so the time at your home is spent fitting. If you’d like the fitting on a Saturday, that can be arranged.
How is under-stairs storage priced?
Every piece is quoted for your room 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, drop us a line using the contact form and we will arrange a design visit.
What it costs
Prices vary from room to room, and it comes down to:
- Parking near your home
- The number of doors and drawers
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
- How big the furniture is
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. Size, the number of doors and drawers and the internal fittings make the biggest difference to the price.
What to send when you contact us
When you contact us, these help most:
- Your postcode and the borough
- How you want to use the space
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
- Rough measurements, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
