Under-stairs storage for your home in Raynes Park
Under-stairs storage for homes in Raynes Park
Deep pull-out drawers bring the back of the space within reach. Instead of crawling in to find something, you slide the drawer out and everything is in view. At the tall end, a cupboard works well for coats, an ironing board or the vacuum. A mix of drawers and cupboards is often the best use of the space. If you’re living with wanting a quiet corner for paperwork and a sloping corner nobody can reach, that is what under-stairs cupboards are for, made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted.
Around Raynes Park, interwar houses or semi-detached and detached homes make up a good part of the housing. 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.
The written quote is your record of the job. It describes the under-stairs cupboard we’ve designed for the room, its materials and its finish, and the workshop works from it.

Pricing under-stairs storage in Raynes Park
Prices vary from room to room, for these reasons:
- What goes inside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- Parking and unloading on your street
- How big the furniture is
Rooms that aren’t square take more work: uneven walls, sloping floors and angled ceilings all add scribing and cutting on site. That’s reflected in the quote, which we write after seeing the room.
Getting in touch
What helps most when you first contact us:
- Rough measurements, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- Whether it’s a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
- What the furniture needs to hold
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
A quote begins with a few details from you: which room it is, rough measurements and a couple of photos if you can take them. When you’re ready, fill in our short enquiry form. We’ll then arrange a design visit and follow it with a written quote.
What happens on fitting day
Before anything is fixed, we set the furniture level. Where the floor slopes, we bring the furniture up to level on adjustable feet or a plinth, which keeps the lines straight. After that, it is fixed to the wall using fixings that suit the wall, whether that is solid brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard. Clearing the room and the way in beforehand helps the day run well. Fitting day starts with protecting the floors and setting out the pieces. The pieces are levelled, fitted to the walls and fixed back.
- It starts when you get in touch with some details about the space, and whether the meters or fuse board are in there.
- We visit to measure the space and go through the design with you.
- We send a written quote setting out the design, materials and finish, for you to read through.
- We make every part in our workshop, shaped to the angle of your stairs. 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.
Preparing the room
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
- Empty the space we will be working in
- Let us know about parking near your home
Starting with a design visit
If you already have something in mind, tell us; if not, we can work it out together at the visit. At the design visit, we measure up and talk the design through with you, and the written quote that follows sets it out. To arrange a visit, fill in our short enquiry form.

Flat-pack or bespoke?
A confident DIYer can manage simple shelves or a standard wardrobe in a square room. Sloping ceilings, uneven floors and lath-and-plaster walls make it harder.
The real difference is in the fit: edges scribed to the wall, a level base on a sloping floor and a neat line where the furniture meets the ceiling. In an older room, standard units rarely manage that.
Raynes Park homes and under-stairs storage
In the neighbourhood around Raynes Park, the largest groups of homes date from between 1919 and 1939 (about 48%) and before 1919 (about 25%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. Near the centre of Raynes Park, Historic England’s list includes Methodist Church (Grade II), about 0.5 miles north. Works inside a listed home that affect its character, for example removing original joinery or fixing into it, may need listed building consent from the council. An early word with the council’s conservation officer is the best first step. Red routes, run by TfL, have strict rules on stopping and loading. If your street in Raynes Park joins a main road, it is worth telling us during the design visit. Then we can work out where to load and unload.
If you live near Cannon Hill Common, under-stairs cupboards can be designed to hold outdoor kit, from walking boots to picnic things. For families living near West Wimbledon Primary School, under-stairs cupboards can give school bags, shoes and sports kit a proper home.

What else we make in Raynes Park
What prompts under-stairs storage in Raynes Park
The low end of the space is typically the problem. You can’t stand up in it, and you can’t reach the back without kneeling. Pull-out drawers solve that by bringing the back of the space to you.
Common reasons to get in touch include:
- No room for a small desk or a place to work
- An old cupboard door that doesn’t suit the hall
- Nowhere to keep the vacuum and ironing board
- Space under the stairs that is hard to use
Southside House, about 0.9 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. For a period home anywhere nearby, the space under the stairs may hold the meters or the fuse board, and the cupboards are planned around them.

FAQs: under-stairs storage in Raynes Park
Is Raynes Park in the area you cover for under-stairs storage?
Yes. Raynes Park is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Merton and London. You can fill in our short enquiry form to arrange a design visit.
I live near Raynes Park station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Merton and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can fill in our short enquiry form to arrange a design visit.
Do I need to be in when you fit?
We need access, so someone has to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work, but it is useful to be around at the end.
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 there are no gaps at the sides.
Which materials go into your under-stairs cupboards?
Moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish. Birch plywood holds screws well, which matters for drawers that carry weight. The materials and finish are agreed in your quote.
How long does it take to fit under-stairs storage?
How long the fitting takes depends on the shape of the space and the number of drawers and doors, and your quote sets out the fitting days. The storage is made at our workshop first, so the time in your home is spent fitting. We keep the hallway as clear as we can while we work.
