Under-Stairs Storage in Feltham
Walls in older London homes are rarely straight, so we scribe the furniture to follow them. Our work on under-stairs storage in Feltham starts with a design visit, and everything is built in our workshop.
- Struggling to reach the gas or electricity meter
- The low end of the space going to waste
- Storage that doesn’t match the hallway
Under-stairs storage in Feltham
Tips worth knowing
Most of what helps is simple. What we’d suggest:
- Let us know about parking near your home
- Think about how your household uses coats and shoes
- Measure your vacuum cleaner and ironing board
- Think about handles and how the fronts will look from the hall
If you chose a hand-painted finish, small marks can be touched in. It’s worth keeping a note of the colour so any touch-ups match. A spray-painted finish is smooth and even, and small marks often clean off with a damp cloth.
Every so often, look at the handles and hinges. A loose handle is easy to tighten before it works its way out. If a door drops or a drawer starts to catch, message us from the contact page and let us know what’s happening.
Under-stairs storage in Feltham: what you get
We make each under-stairs cupboard in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood. Birch plywood is strong and holds screws well, which suits drawer boxes that carry weight, while MDF takes paint well for the doors and fronts. Once painted, by spray or by hand, it’s brought to your home in Feltham and fitted. We make under-stairs cupboards from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand, and the things people most often want solved are struggling to reach the gas or electricity meter and a staircase with untidy space beneath it.
Coats, shoes, bags and the vacuum cleaner all need somewhere to go in a family house. With interwar houses, semis and detached homes a large part of the housing around Feltham, fitted storage near the front door can take much of it. Meters and fuse boards stay easy to reach.

What it is made from
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.
Spray-painted finish
For a crisp, even look, many people choose a spray-painted finish. We apply it in our workshop, so treat it gently while it cures fully.
Why bespoke in Feltham?
Standard storage is built for a level floor and a square space, but the space under a staircase rarely offers either. Boxed units normally leave awkward gaps under the slope and dead space behind. Storage made for the space follows the angle of the stairs and uses its full depth. It’s a bigger investment than a flat-pack unit, and the return is in the space it uses. In an extended or opened-up house, old and new walls often meet slightly out of line, which shows up against standard furniture. Fitted pieces are scribed to both.
How it is painted is part of the price: spray painting happens in the workshop, and hand painting can be done in your home. The written quote reflects your choice, along with the size and fittings.

Questions from Feltham
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Feltham station?
Yes, homes across Hounslow and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can drop us a line using the contact form with some details about the room, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Does a conservation area in or near Feltham affect fitted furniture?
Usually not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. If your home is listed, internal works that affect its character can require listed building consent, so check with the council first. If you are unsure, the council can confirm.
What if the wall is cold or damp?
It needs a little planning: leaving ventilation behind and inside helps stop condensation. We don’t treat damp, so any damp should be sorted before fitting day.
How long is the fitting for under-stairs storage?
How long fitting takes depends on how much storage you want under the stairs, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Drawers, doors and carcasses are all made in the workshop before we arrive. Saturday fitting is possible by arrangement.
Does someone need to be home during the fitting?
Someone needs 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.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, by arrangement. If a Saturday works better for you, say so when you get in touch.
The problems under-stairs storage solve
A hallway full of shoes and coats is a common reason to get in touch. With a rail, hooks and shoe drawers under the stairs, the hall stays clear, and the family has an obvious place to put things.
Requests we hear often include:
- A dark, wasted space under the stairs
- An old cupboard door that doesn’t suit the hall
- A sloping corner nobody can reach
- Struggling to reach the gas or electricity meter
If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, like Red Lion Inn, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. If your own home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original features.
What to check before you book
- Have they thought about parking near you?
- Which materials they’ll use, named in the quote
- How the furniture will be finished, and where
- Will they visit to measure before quoting?

From workshop to your room
On the morning of the fitting, the first job is covering the floors and protecting the way in from the front door. The sections made in our workshop come in next, a piece at a time. 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. If you have a driveway, it can make unloading simpler, so let us know at the design visit. Otherwise, details of permits or nearby bays help. Doorways, stairs and floors are covered on the way in.
- You get in touch and tell us a little about the space under your stairs.
- We visit to measure the space and go through the design with you.
- You receive a written quote for the storage we’ve discussed, for you to read through.
- The drawers, doors and carcasses are made in our workshop. We use moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- The storage is fitted in your home and checked, drawer by drawer. Any meters stay easy to reach.
Before we arrive
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Arranging a design visit
The design visit is where every quote starts. We measure the room properly, check how the walls and floors run and talk through the design with you. A quote in writing follows the visit. To book one, use our contact form.

Under-stairs storage for homes in Feltham
About 36% of the homes in the area around Feltham went up between 1919 and 1939, and about 22% between 1945 and 1972, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. Within a mile of the centre of Feltham, 3 conservation areas are recorded by Historic England. England has around 10,000 in all, and their controls are largely about how buildings look from outside, so fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. Around a third of the homes in the streets around Feltham (about 36%) date from between 1919 and 1939, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Interwar houses typically have a straight flight of stairs with a cupboard below, often holding the meters or the fuse board, so the design keeps them reachable.
For families living near St Lawrence Catholic Primary School, under-stairs cupboards can give school bags, shoes and sports kit a proper home. If you live in a period home close to Christ Church, the space under the stairs may hold the meters or the fuse board, and the cupboards are planned around them.
