FAQs: under-stairs storage in Coney Hall
Can you fit furniture in a home close to West Wickham station?
Yes. We cover all of Bromley and the rest of London. You can fill in our short enquiry form to arrange a design visit.
Is parking a problem for fitting in Coney Hall?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. 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’s useful to let us know about parking at the design visit, so the day can be planned around it.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
We need someone to let us in at the start of the day. It’s good to have someone there at the end to look over the work with us.
Can you match the storage to my hallway?
Yes. You choose the colour, and we agree it before the work starts. A spray-painted finish is done in our workshop, and a hand-painted one can be done on site. Both can be matched to a colour you already have.
Do you do the electrics?
No. Electrical work is not something we do; it’s a job for your electrician. We can allow for cable routes in the design, and new sockets should be in place before fitting day.
Can you build storage around a gas meter or 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 during the design visit and plan the drawers and doors around them. We don’t move meters, so the storage works around their current position.
About our under-stairs storage in Coney Hall
Under-stairs storage is not only for houses. Maisonettes, split-level flats and homes with stairs down to a lower floor often have usable space beneath the steps. We measure the space and the route in, so the sections built in our workshop fit through the front door and along the hall. The same careful process applies to any home in Coney Hall. If your home has no room for a small desk or a place to work and an under-stairs cupboard full of clutter, under-stairs cupboards made from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish can solve it.
If you live in one of the interwar houses or semis around Coney Hall, the hall is often wide enough for coat and shoe storage. Bays at the front suit a seat with storage below, with a grille where there’s a radiator underneath. Each space is measured and under-stairs cupboards are made to suit it.

DIY, flat-pack or bespoke
Off-the-shelf cupboards come in fixed sizes, so there’s often a strip of wasted space at the side or above. Fitted furniture is made to the room’s measurements, so it can use the full height and width.
If you are handy, a simple shelf or a standard wardrobe in a square room is a reasonable DIY job. It gets harder with sloping ceilings, out-of-level floors and lath-and-plaster walls.
When you need someone else
Damp treatment and building work are for other specialists, and there are a few other limits too:
- New sockets, lights or wiring, which are for your electrician
- Reshaping or rebuilding the staircase
- Changing where a meter sits, which is not carpentry
Not sure whether your space suits under-stairs storage? You can tell us about the room on our contact form and we’ll tell you before you arrange a visit. How it works.
What goes into it
- Coat hooks and shoe shelves
- Moisture-resistant MDF
- Spray-painted finish
- Hand-painted finish
- Pull-out drawers
- Birch plywood
Is it time for under-stairs storage?
Many people struggle with the shallow, sloping end under the bottom steps. You cannot stand up in it, and you cannot reach the back without kneeling. Drawers that slide out on runners turn that tricky corner into useful storage.
Requests we hear often include:
- Nowhere to put coats, shoes and bags
- A fuse board that is hard to get to
- Nowhere to keep the vacuum and ironing board
- The low end of the space going to waste
If you live near Millers Pond, under-stairs cupboards can be designed to hold outdoor kit, from walking boots to picnic things.
Before you choose who makes it
- Have they measured the stairs, lift and doorways?
- Whether they measure the room themselves
- Are the boards named, such as MDF or plywood?
- Will the quote be in writing?
Making use of awkward spaces in Coney Hall
The biggest shares of homes in the neighbourhood around Coney Hall were built between 1919 and 1939 (about 63%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 24%), according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). 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 Coney Hall include The Swan Public House (Grade II), less than half a mile north-east, and The White Lodge (Grade II), about 0.5 miles north-west. Where a home is listed, listed building consent can be needed for inside works that affect its character, such as fixing into original panelling. The council’s conservation officer is the person to ask before work starts. Controlled parking zones are common across London, and Bromley sets its own rules. Depending on your street in Coney Hall, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a council bay suspension may be needed. It helps to tell us about parking during the design visit.

Flats, conversions and lettings
In conversions and newer blocks, many internal walls are timber or metal stud with plasterboard. We choose fixings to suit the wall, after checking the walls at the design visit.
In a managed block, the building manager or concierge may need notice before we arrive. 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.
What happens on fitting day
Furniture made in a workshop still has to meet the room it’s going into, and fitting day is where that happens. Walls in older homes are rarely flat or square, so we scribe the edges by hand to follow the wall. How long the fitting itself takes depends on the shape of the space and the number of drawers and doors, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. A front path or side gate can make the carry from the van simpler. Gates, paths and steps up to the door are part of the route we measure. Floors, stairs and doorways are protected on the way in, and the sections are assembled in place.
- You contact us about the space under your stairs.
- We visit to measure the space at several points along the slope, as stairs and walls are rarely square in older houses.
- We send a quote in writing for the storage.
- The drawers, doors and carcasses are made in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, cut to the angle of the stairs.
- We fit the storage in your home, trimming the edges so they meet the stairs neatly.
