Under-stairs storage designed for your room
About our under-stairs storage in Roxeth
In a narrow hallway, the stairs may offer the only spare room for coats and shoes. We can make a coat section with a rail or hooks, shoe drawers and a small shelf for keys and post. Painted in a colour you choose, it reads as part of the house rather than a piece of furniture. For a home in Roxeth, it can make the front door feel far calmer. We make under-stairs cupboards from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed, and the usual reasons to get in touch are a low corner too deep to reach into and an under-stairs cupboard full of clutter.
In an area where interwar homes or semis make up much of the housing, as around Roxeth, loft conversions are common, and they leave low eaves and sloping ceilings. Fitted storage can make use of the eaves, the bay or the hall. For lofts, we work in spaces that are already converted or boarded.
The written quote is your record of the job. It describes the under-stairs cupboard we’ve designed for the room, what it is made from and how it’s finished, and it’s what the workshop builds to.

Making use of tricky spaces in Roxeth
The biggest shares of homes in the streets around Roxeth were built between 1919 and 1939 (about 42%) and before 1919 (about 19%), going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. That matters for under-stairs cupboards, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. Near the centre of Roxeth, Historic England’s list includes The Old Schools (Grade I), about 0.6 miles north-east, and The White Cottage (Grade II*), about 0.5 miles south-east. If you live in a listed building, fixing into or taking out original features such as panelling may need listed building consent. Ask the council’s conservation officer before anything is fixed. Red routes are run by TfL, with tight limits on where and when vehicles can stop. If your home is on or just off a main road, it helps to mention it. Then we can work out where to load and unload.
For families living near Roxeth Primary School, deep drawers suit the bulky things families collect, from scooters to swimming kit. The wider area includes historic houses such as Northolt Manor, about 1.9 miles south-west. 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.
Roxeth is part of the London Borough of Harrow, about 1 mile north of Harrow. We cover Roxeth as part of our work across Harrow. Roxeth is one of the places in Harrow where we make under-stairs storage.
Design visits and fitting in HA2, HA1 and UB5 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. You will find streets here such as Lower Road, Grange Road and Dudley Road, and homes on each of them are within our area for under-stairs storage. If you are just outside Roxeth, we also cover South Harrow (1 mile south-west), Harrow (1 mile north), Harrow on the Hill (1 mile east), Northwick Park (1 mile north-east) and Rayners Lane (1 mile west). Across the rest of Harrow, our area takes in Stanmore (4 miles north-east), Hatch End (3 miles north-west), Harrow Weald (3 miles north), Wealdstone (2 miles north), Little Stanmore (4 miles north-east) and Pinner Green (3 miles north-west).
What’s near Roxeth
Our area takes in the homes around The White Horse pub, St Dominic's Sixth Form College and Orley Farm School, among other places.

Questions we’re often asked
Do you cover homes near Sudbury Hill Harrow station?
Yes, homes across Harrow and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can use our contact form with some details about the room, and tell us about parking and access at the same time.
Can you make under-stairs storage for a home in Roxeth?
Yes, Roxeth is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Harrow and the rest of London. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and go through the design, followed by a quote.
What do you do at the measuring visit?
We measure the room, check how level the walls and floors are and go through the design with you. We will also ask about access and parking, and a quote in writing follows.
Does fitted furniture need planning permission?
Not normally. Fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission, even in a conservation area. Listed buildings may need listed building consent for works that affect their character, so check with the council first.
Can you fit furniture to uneven walls?
It’s something we deal with all the time. We trim the edges to follow the wall and level the base.
Do I need to be in when you fit?
Someone needs to let us in. It is good to have someone there at the end to look over the work with us.
Flat-pack or bespoke?
Bespoke work comes into its own in rooms that aren’t square. In period homes, walls lean, floors slope and the alcoves on each side are often different widths.
Off-the-shelf cupboards come in fixed sizes, so there is typically a gap left over at the top or at one end. Furniture we make is built to the room’s own sizes, so it can run to the ceiling and fill the width.
How fitting works for under-stairs storage
You’re welcome to ask questions while we work. The design, materials and finish were settled before anything was made, so fitting day is about putting it in place carefully and leaving everything tidy. How long the fitting takes depends on the size of the space and the design, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Interwar houses typically have a straight run of stairs and a reasonable hallway, but the route in is still measured, not just the room. The furniture comes in sections and is put together where it’s going.
- You get in touch with some details and, if you like, a sketch. It helps to say whether the meters are under there.
- We visit to measure and talk about how you will use the space, and check where the meters and fuse board sit.
- Your quote sets out the design, the materials and the finish.
- Your storage is made in our workshop, cut to the angle of your stairs. The materials are moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit it in your home and leave it ready to use, with the finish sprayed beforehand or painted by hand on site.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Clear the area where the furniture is going
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
- Let us know where the boiler and meters are
Starting with a design visit
Photos help us understand the room before we visit. A few pictures showing the walls, the corners and where the ceiling meets them tell us a lot about the space, along with rough sizes. To share them, tell us about the room on our contact form, and we will suggest a time for a design visit.
Related advice
What it costs
A few things affect what fitted furniture costs:
- How many doors and drawers there are
- Parking near your home
- The width and height of the space
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
Parking is part of the price picture in London. 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. Let us know about parking during the design visit, so it can be planned.
Before the design visit
A little information at the start saves time later. If you can, send:
- Approximate measurements of the space
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
- Any ideas or images you’ve saved
- Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
The design visit is where every quote starts. We measure the room properly, check how the walls and floors run and go through the design with you. Afterwards, we send a quote in writing. To book one, get in touch through our contact form.
Do you need under-stairs storage in Roxeth?
People who have just moved in, or have just finished a hallway, often want the space under the stairs to match. Storage made for the space and painted to suit the hall finishes the job. Decorating is for your decorator, so it helps to tell us your plans early.
Under-stairs storage can help with:
- Space under the stairs that is hard to use
- A low corner too deep to reach into
- A fuse board that is hard to get to
- Storage that doesn’t match the hallway
If your home is one of the older houses near Christ Church, the cupboard door under a period staircase can be kept or replaced to match the new storage.
Before you hire any carpenter
- Whether the finish is set out in the quote
- Have they measured the stairs, lift and doorways?
- Can you see real work of theirs?
- Where they’ll park and unload
Why bespoke in Roxeth?
Flat-pack furniture is designed to be easy to carry home and quick to assemble. 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. Which suits you depends on how much you want from the space. Off-the-shelf furniture comes in a few set depths, which may be too deep for one spot and too shallow for another. Fitted furniture is made to the depth the space can take.
There’s no price list, because every piece is designed for one room. Instead, we measure, discuss the design and then quote in writing. To arrange a design visit, fill in our short enquiry form.
