Practical tips
Fresh paintwork takes a while to cure fully, so go gently with it for a while. Beyond that, these tips help:
- Find out what sits in the space now, from meters to pipes
- Make room so the whole space can be measured
- Think about handles and how the fronts will look from the hall
- Make a list of what you want to store before the design visit
When we’ve finished fitting, the drawers and doors are ready to use. New paintwork takes time to cure fully, so go easy on it to begin with. Avoid sticky tape, heavy knocks and harsh cleaners while it hardens.
Keep the way to the meter or fuse board clear. Readers and engineers need to reach them, and you may need to as well. A dedicated door makes this easy to keep up.
How we make under-stairs storage for Park Royal
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. The finish is sprayed or hand-painted, and then the storage is fitted in your home in Park Royal. We make under-stairs cupboards from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted, and people most often get in touch about a meter or fuse board buried behind clutter and nowhere to keep the vacuum and ironing board.
Many homes around Park Royal have been built since 2000, and newer homes rarely come with much storage. Halls, landings and the space beneath the stairs are where fitted storage can help. Plasterboard stud walls are common, so fixings go into the studs or use fixings made for the board.
If the job needs another trade, such as an electrician or a plumber, we’ll tell you. The quote itself covers our work, from the design to the materials and finish.

The problems under-stairs storage solve
After a hallway is redecorated, an old, tired cupboard under the stairs can stand out. Storage made for the space and painted to suit the hall finishes the job. If decorating is planned, it is worth mentioning during the design visit so the work can be timed sensibly.
A few of the things people ask us to solve include:
- A tired under-stairs cupboard that stands out
- Nowhere to put coats, shoes and bags
- Nowhere to keep the vacuum and ironing board
- Stairs open to a room, with clutter on show
The wider area includes historic houses such as Pitzhanger Manor, about 2 miles south-west. For a period home anywhere nearby, pull-out drawers can reach right to the back of a deep under-stairs space.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- Will the quote be in writing?
- Will they visit to measure before quoting?
- Real projects you can actually look at
- Which materials they’ll use, named in the quote
Is bespoke worth it?
Off-the-shelf storage comes in the colours the maker offers. Bespoke storage can be painted in the colour you choose, by spray or by hand, so it can match the hall, the stairs or the woodwork. In a newer flat, big flat-pack units can be hard to get into the lift or through the door, while fitted furniture comes in sections sized for the route. It’s then assembled and fixed in the room.
What goes inside matters as much as the outside: drawers take more making than shelves, and each rail, divider or pull-out adds to the work. We will talk through what you need inside during the design visit, then set it out in the quote.
Why us?
- Built from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood

Your questions about under-stairs storage in Park Royal
Is Park Royal in the area you cover for under-stairs storage?
Yes. We cover all of Ealing and the rest of London, and Park Royal is part of that. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and go through the design, followed by a quote.
How do you fit under-stairs storage in a flat in Park Royal?
We measure the route in as well as the room: the stairs, landings, lift and doors. The furniture is made in sections that fit the stairs and lift, and put together in the room. If your building has rules on lift booking or working hours, or your lease needs consent for alterations, it is worth checking those early.
Can I send pictures ahead of the visit?
Yes. They give us a feel for the space before we visit, along with rough sizes. It helps to show radiators, sockets and anything else on the wall.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
We need access, so someone has to let us in. After that, you do not need to stay in the room.
What if my walls and floors are out of level?
It’s something we deal with all the time. We trim the edges to follow the wall and level the base, so it sits tight to the room.
Do I need permission in a conservation area?
Not normally. Conservation areas mostly control changes to the outside, and furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need it. In a listed building, check with the council’s conservation officer before any work.
How fitting day works
Period rooms often have skirting boards, picture rails, cornices or coving for the furniture to meet. On fitting day, we cut and scribe the furniture around these details. How long fitting takes depends on how much storage you want under the stairs, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Newer developments sometimes have their own parking and loading rules, so it helps to let us know at the measuring visit. On fitting day, the sections are carried in, assembled and fixed. Saturday fitting is possible by prior arrangement.
- You get in touch with a few details and, if you like, a sketch.
- At the design visit, we look at the stairs, the hall and what you need to store, and check where the meters and fuse board sit.
- Your quote sets out the design, the materials and the finish. Take your time to look through it.
- Your storage is built in our workshop, cut to the angle of your stairs. The materials are moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.

How to prepare
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
- Leave a clear route from the front door to the room
- Have your electrician move any sockets or switches beforehand
Ask for a quote
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. Each room is different, so we quote after seeing it, when we have measured up and talked through the design. To arrange a visit, drop us a line using the contact form.

What it’s made from
Moisture-resistant MDF
Moisture-resistant MDF is stable and takes paint well. It suits the doors, drawer fronts and panels of an under-stairs cupboard, where a smooth, even finish matters most.
Hand-painted finish
A hand-painted finish can be applied once the storage is in place. It’s easy to touch up later. Paint needs time to cure fully, so it is best treated gently at first.
Under-stairs storage in Park Royal: local notes
The biggest shares of homes in the streets around Park Royal were built since 2000 (about 57%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 19%), in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. There is a conservation area within about a quarter of a mile of the centre of Park Royal, going by Historic England’s data. The controls in a conservation area are mostly about the outside of buildings, so furniture fitted inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. If you’re unsure, check with the council before work starts. About 57% of homes in the area around Park Royal were built since 2000, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Homes built since 2000 rarely have much storage, and they tend to have stud walls, so the fixings for under-stairs cupboards are chosen for the board.
If your children go to West Twyford Primary School or a school nearby, deep drawers suit the bulky things families collect, from scooters to swimming kit. If you live in a flat close to Harlesden station, the route in is measured not just the room, and the sections are sized to fit it.
