Under-stairs storage in Hanger Hill
What under-stairs storage cannot fix
Before you plan the job, it’s useful to know what we don’t do:
- Electrical work under the stairs, which your electrician carries out
- Gas pipework, which needs an engineer on the Gas Safe Register
- Painting the hallway walls and ceiling
If you’re not sure what’s possible in your room, you can use our contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer. How a job runs, step by step.

Under-stairs storage for homes in Hanger Hill
In some homes the stairs rise from the living room or kitchen, so the storage beneath them is on show. That calls for clean lines, well-fitted doors and a finish that suits the rest of the room. We can make plain or panelled fronts, painted to sit with the walls or to stand out. In Hanger Hill or anywhere else, the aim is storage that looks considered, not added on. If you are living with a low corner too deep to reach into and open space under the stairs that collects clutter, under-stairs cupboards made from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish can solve it.
Hallways in period terraces are often long and narrow, with the stairs rising along one wall. A large share of the homes around Hanger Hill were built before 1919, so every bit of depth is weighed up when storage is planned. Shallow units keep the way through clear.
A written quote follows the design visit. It sets out the design we have talked through, the materials and the finish, so it’s clear what’s included.

Why bespoke in Hanger Hill?
A standard unit knows nothing about your meter or fuse board. Put in the wrong place, it can block the access meter readers and engineers need. Bespoke storage is planned around them from the start. Standard furniture is drawn for modern rooms, so its proportions can look odd in a tall period room, while fitted furniture can follow the room’s own lines.
The finish affects the cost: spray painting is done in the workshop, while hand painting can be done on site. Your choice, along with the size and the fittings, is reflected in the written quote.

How it’s made
Plinths and scribe strips
We trim scribe strips to the exact line of the wall. They help the storage look as though it was always there. The plinth at the bottom does the same job at the floor.
Spray-painted finish
Spray painting gives the fronts a very even surface. We apply it in our workshop, so treat it gently while it cures fully.
Fitted storage in Hanger Hill
Homes built before 1919 make up about 49% of the housing in the neighbourhood around Hanger Hill, with about 26% built between 1919 and 1939, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. It’s a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. Part of Hanger Hill is in the Hanger Hill Garden Estate Conservation Area, according to Historic England’s records. Being in a conservation area mainly affects changes to the outside of a building, and fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. If in doubt, the council’s planning team can confirm. TfL’s red routes have strict stopping rules. If your street in Hanger Hill joins a main road, it is worth telling us during the design visit. That way we can plan where to load and unload.
For families living near Holy Family Catholic Primary School, a place for each person’s coat and shoes stops the hallway filling up. Close to Ealing Common? Under-stairs cupboards can be designed to hold outdoor kit, from walking boots to picnic things. For an older house near Church of the Ascension, the cupboard door under a period staircase can be kept or replaced to match the new storage.

FAQs: under-stairs storage in Hanger Hill
I live in a flat in Hanger Hill. How will the furniture get up the stairs?
At the design visit, we measure the way in not just the room. Under-stairs cupboards are made at our workshop in sections sized to fit that route, then assembled in your flat. It helps to check any building rules and your lease before fitting day.
Do you make under-stairs storage for homes in Hanger Hill?
Yes, Hanger Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Ealing and the rest of London. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and discuss the design, followed by a quote.
What if the wall is cold or damp?
It can be done with some care: ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps avoid condensation and mould. Damp treatment is not something we do, so any damp needs sorting first.
Who chooses the colour?
You choose it. Whichever finish you pick, it is in the colour you’ve chosen.
What finishes do you offer?
There are two options: spray painting, done in the workshop for a smooth, even finish, or hand painting, which can be done on site. Your quote sets out which you’ve chosen.
What do you do at the measuring visit?
We take full measurements, look at the walls and floors and work through the design together. We’ll also ask about access and parking, and a quote in writing follows.
Flats, leases and landlords
For flats on red routes or busy main roads, unloading takes some planning. TfL runs the red routes, and the stopping rules are strict, so tell us about it during the design visit.
Blocks of flats often have their own rules on lift bookings, entry systems and times for trades. Let us know about them at the design visit, so fitting day is planned around them.

How fitting works for under-stairs storage
When we arrive on fitting day, we start by protecting your floors and the route from the front door to the room. The sections built in our workshop come in next. How long the fitting takes depends on how much storage you want under the stairs, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. In houses converted into flats, the route in may include a shared hall and stairs, so it is useful to let neighbours know about fitting day. Each section is sized for the tightest door or turn. Saturdays can be arranged.
- First we hear what’s under your stairs now and what you need, such as coats, shoes or the vacuum cleaner.
- At the design visit, the space is measured and any meters are noted, because they must stay accessible.
- The design is agreed and a written quote follows, with the finish set out.
- Every part is made at our workshop, ready for a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
- We fit it in your home and check every drawer and door with you. The way to any meters is left clear.
Preparing the room
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Empty the space we’ll be working in
- Clear the walls of pictures and shelves
