- Making good the walls and ceiling, which is for a plasterer or decorator
If you’re not sure what’s possible in your room, you can fill in our short enquiry form and we will give you a straight answer before you arrange a visit. How a job runs, step by step.

Under-stairs storage for homes in Turnham Green
Each under-stairs cupboard is made at our workshop, using moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood. Birch plywood suits drawer boxes and carcasses, as it is strong and holds screws firmly, while MDF takes paint well for the doors and fronts. Once painted, by spray or by hand, it’s brought to your home in Turnham Green and fitted. If you’re living with wanting a quiet corner for paperwork and coats and shoes piling up in the hall, that’s what under-stairs cupboards are for, made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
Ceilings and floors in homes built before 1919 are rarely level, and a large share of homes around Turnham Green are that old. Each piece is scribed and levelled on site so it looks straight in a room that isn’t. Original skirting and mouldings are met neatly.
If the job needs another trade, like an electrician or a plumber, we’ll tell you, so it can be arranged before fitting day. The quote itself covers our work, from the design to the materials and finish.

What affects the price in Turnham Green
The price reflects the time and materials the job needs. That depends on:
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- Where a van can park, such as a permit bay or a bay suspension
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- How many doors and drawers there are
There’s no price list, because each job is designed for a single room. Instead, we measure, go through the design and then quote in writing, naming the materials and finish. To start, drop us a line using the contact form.
Before the design visit
To give us a picture of the room, it helps to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Approximate measurements of the space
- Any ideas or images you have saved
- What the furniture needs to hold
The quote is built from the design visit. We measure the room properly, check how the walls and floors run and go through the design with you. A quote in writing follows the visit, so you can take your time with it. To book one, send us a few details through our contact form.

Under-stairs storage in Turnham Green: local notes
Homes built before 1919 make up about 56% of the housing in the neighbourhood around Turnham Green, with about 16% built between 1973 and 1999, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. The age of a home tells us a lot about its walls, floors and ceilings, and so about how under-stairs cupboards are fixed and fitted. Part of Turnham Green is in the Chiswick House Conservation Area, one of the conservation areas recorded by Historic England. Fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission in a conservation area, as the controls are mostly concerned with the outside of buildings. If you want to be certain, ask the council’s planning team. Controlled parking zones are run by the boroughs, so the rules in Hounslow are set locally. Where a street in Turnham Green is controlled, a van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension from the council. Parking near your home is worth mentioning at the measuring visit.
Close to Dukes Meadows? Living near green space often means muddy boots, bikes and outdoor kit, and under-stairs cupboards can give those things a place. For a family home near The William Hogarth Primary School, a place for each person’s coat and shoes stops the hallway filling up. For a flat near Chiswick station, check any building rules on lifts and working hours early, and the sections will be sized for the way in.

Fitting day, step by step
When the fitting is done, we tidy the room and lift the floor protection. Before we go, we look over the finished furniture with you and answer any questions. How long 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. On fitting day, edges are trimmed on site to follow the walls, so a clear area to work in near the room helps. Dust is kept down and cleared up as we go. Where the finish is hand-painted, it can be done after the pieces are in.
- You let us know about the stairs and what you’d like to store.
- At the design visit, the space is measured and any meters are noted, because they must stay accessible.
- The design is agreed and a quote in writing follows, with the finish set out.
- The storage is built in our workshop and painted in your colour. We use moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- The storage is fitted, scribed to the stairs and checked with you.
How to prepare
- Have your electrician move any sockets or switches beforehand
- Keep pets in another room while we work
- Leave a clear route from the front door to the room
How to get a quote
Rough measurements are fine at the start. We measure everything properly at the measuring visit, along with the walls, floor and ceiling. To arrange it, use our contact form with some details about the room. The written quote follows the visit.
Advice
Common questions about under-stairs storage
I live near Chiswick station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Hounslow and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can tell us about the room on our contact form with a few details about the room.
Is parking a problem for fitting in Turnham Green?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. A van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a parking bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. Let us know what parking is near you at the measuring visit.
Which materials go into your under-stairs cupboards?
Our storage is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, then painted. Drawer boxes are birch plywood, as it is strong and holds screws firmly. The materials and finish are agreed in your quote.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
We need access, so someone has to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you fit a small desk under the stairs?
In many homes it is possible, if the space is open to a room and tall enough at one end. A built-in desk with shelves above and drawers below can work well. New sockets or lights are for your electrician, and we leave a route for the cables.
Can you match the storage to my hallway?
Yes. The colour is your choice and is agreed in the quote. A spray-painted finish is done in our workshop, and a hand-painted one can be done on site. Both can be matched to a colour you already have.
Boards, parts and paint
Doors and drawer fronts
We make the fronts from moisture-resistant MDF and finish them in the colour you choose. The angled fronts are cut to match the stairs, so the gaps stay even all the way along.
Pull-out drawers
Pull-out drawers bring the deep, low end of the space within reach. We size each drawer for what you plan to keep in it. Many designs use a run of drawers stepping down with the stairs.
Could you do it yourself?
Cost matters, and it’s fair to say so: off-the-shelf furniture usually costs less up front. Bespoke earns its place where the room is tricky, space is tight or you want the furniture to look part of the house.
Where bespoke earns its keep is in rooms that are not square. Older London rooms tend to have leaning walls, sloping floors and alcoves of different widths.
