What happens on fitting day
However carefully a piece is made in the workshop, it still has to meet the room, and fitting day is where that happens. Walls in older homes are rarely flat or square, so each edge that meets a wall is scribed to follow it. How long the fitting itself takes depends on how much storage you want under the stairs, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Fitting day means carrying in the sections, joining them and fitting them to the walls. Hand-painted furniture can be finished on site; spray-painted pieces arrive finished from the workshop. Saturday fitting is possible by prior arrangement.
- You contact us about the space under your stairs.
- At the design visit we measure the underside of the stairs and the floor, then talk through drawers, cupboards and coat storage.

Advice
Under-stairs storage for homes in Edgware
The space under a staircase is often the hardest-working spot in a house, and the least organised. Our under-stairs storage is planned around what you need to store, whether that’s pull-out drawers, a run of cupboards or a mix of both. In Edgware, as everywhere we work, it begins with a visit to measure and plan. People typically come to us about a dark, wasted space under the stairs and cleaning things with no proper home; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted.
A good part of the housing around Edgware is interwar, semi-detached or detached. If yours is a 1920s or 1930s house, the bay window at the front, the space under the stairs and the box room are the usual places to gain storage. Any meters or fuse boards that need to stay reachable are designed around.
If the job needs another trade, such as an electrician or a plumber, we’ll tell you, so it can be arranged before fitting day. The quote itself covers our work, from the design to the materials and finish.

What else we make in Edgware
Do you need under-stairs storage in Edgware?
A hallway full of shoes and coats is a common reason to get in touch. A coat and shoe section under the stairs keeps the floor clear and the door easy to open, and everyone knows where things go.
If you recognise any of these, it’s worth talking to us:
- A hallway crowded with coats and shoes
- A staircase with untidy space beneath it
- Storage that does not match the hallway
- No room for a small desk or a place to work
For families living near Beit Shvidler Primary School, under-stairs cupboards can be planned around what a family needs to keep, from coats and bags to sports kit.

What does an under-stairs cupboard cost?
Because every job is different, the cost is set out in a written quote after the visit. Drawers usually involve more work than plain shelving, and the finish makes a difference too. Everything is set out in a written quote after the visit.
Do photos help?
Yes. They give us a feel for the space before we visit. It’s useful to show radiators, sockets and anything else on the wall.
Can you come on a Saturday?
Yes, we can arrange Saturdays. Let us know when you first get in touch.
What do you do at the measuring 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.
Storage in Edgware homes: local notes
About 58% of the homes in the neighbourhood around Edgware went up between 1919 and 1939, and about 17% since 2000, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. We take that into account at the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Edgware include John Keble Church (Grade II), about 0.5 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. Ask the council’s conservation officer before anything is fixed. About 57% of households in the streets around Edgware live in detached or semi-detached houses, based on Census 2021. A house like that usually has more rooms to plan around than a flat, and sometimes a driveway that makes unloading easier.
For an older house near St Andrew, the cupboard door under a period staircase can be kept or replaced to match the new storage. Living in a block of flats near Mill Hill Broadway station? Then each piece is planned so it can be carried up and joined together in the room.
Edgware is part of the London Borough of Barnet, about 4 miles east of Finchley. Whether your home in Edgware is a terraced house, a flat or a newer build, the furniture is designed around the room as we find it. In Barnet, Edgware is one of the places we cover.
We work across HA8, NW7 and HA7 for under-stairs storage. Streets in the area include Station Road, Edgware Road High Street and Hillcrest Avenue, and we cover homes on all of them for under-stairs storage.

What it is made from
Hand-painted finish
A hand-painted finish can be done in your home, once the storage is fitted. It is easy to touch up if it gets marked, which helps in a well-used hall.
Doors and drawer fronts
Doors and drawer fronts are made from moisture-resistant MDF and painted to your colour. The angled fronts are cut to match the stairs, keeping the lines neat.
Flat-pack or bespoke?
It is worth being honest about cost: off-the-shelf furniture normally costs less up front. Bespoke earns its place where the room is awkward, space is tight or you want the furniture to look part of the house.
Flat-pack and off-the-shelf furniture has its place. If the walls are straight and the space suits standard sizes, it often does the job.
Is bespoke worth it?
Ready-made units are designed for shipping and quick assembly. Ours is designed for one staircase and made in our workshop to suit it, with birch plywood drawer boxes that hold screws well and carry weight. The right choice depends on how hard you want the space to work. Even in a 1930s house, walls and floors are not perfectly true, and standalone units can lean or gap. Fitted furniture is scribed and levelled on site.
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 design visit.
