Bespoke under-stairs storage or ready-made?
With ready-made units, the choice of colour is the maker’s. Ours is spray-painted or hand-painted in a colour agreed with you, so it can sit with the walls, the banisters or the skirting. Off-the-shelf furniture is made for flat walls and level floors, which older houses rarely have, so it leaves gaps at the wall, tilts on sloping floors or sits awkwardly against skirting and picture rails. Fitted pieces follow the wall and sit level.
Getting to the room affects the job as well. Several flights of stairs, a small lift or a narrow hall can mean smaller sections and more carrying, which the quote allows for. Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit.
Why choose us
- A spray or hand-painted finish

About our under-stairs storage in Victoria
Deep pull-out drawers bring the back of the space within reach. Rather than reaching into the dark, you pull the drawer towards you and see what’s inside. At the tall end, a cupboard works well for coats, an ironing board or the vacuum. Many designs for homes in Victoria combine the two. If your home has a meter or fuse board buried behind clutter and space under the stairs that’s hard to use, that is what under-stairs cupboards are for, made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
Original features like shutters, cupboard doors and panelling are worth keeping where they survive. Around Victoria, where homes from before 1919 make up a large share, fitted storage can be designed to sit alongside them. Panel details can be drawn to suit the house. If your home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original joinery.
We write quotes in plain English. You will see what will be made, the boards used and the finish, taken from what we agreed at the visit.

Pricing under-stairs storage in Victoria
Each piece is designed for one room, so each price is too. What affects it comes down to:
- Access to the room, such as stairs, lifts and narrow halls
- The width and height of the space
- The number of doors and drawers
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
Rooms that are not square take more work: uneven walls, sloping floors and angled ceilings all add scribing and cutting on site. That’s reflected in the quote, written once we’ve measured up.
Before the design visit
There’s no need for exact sizes or plans. It’s enough to send:
- A few pictures of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
- Where you live, with the postcode
- How you want to use the space
To make a start, tell us about the room on our contact form and tell us which room you have in mind and what you want the furniture to do. From there, we arrange a design visit to measure up and talk through your ideas, and send you a quote in writing afterwards.
Under-stairs storage in Victoria: local notes
The biggest shares of homes in the neighbourhood around Victoria were built before 1919 (about 48%) and since 2000 (about 18%), going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. Within a mile of the centre of Victoria, 26 conservation areas are recorded by Historic England. England has around 10,000 in all, and their controls are mostly concerned with the outside of buildings. Red routes are run by TfL, with tight limits on where and when vehicles can stop. Where a home in Victoria is on or beside a main road, it helps to mention that at the design visit. That way we can plan where to load and unload.
If you live in a flat close to London Victoria station, check any building rules on lifts and working hours early, and the sections will be sized for the way in. If you live in a period home close to St. Michael's Church, pull-out drawers can reach right to the back of a deep under-stairs space. The wider area includes historic houses such as Buckingham Palace, about 0.4 miles north. If your own home is a period one, the cupboard door under a period staircase can be kept or replaced to match the new storage.
Victoria is about 1 mile north of City of Westminster, in the City of Westminster. We cover Victoria as part of our work across Westminster, and the process is the same everywhere we work. We cover places right across Westminster, from the busiest high streets to quiet residential roads.
Design visits and fitting in SW1V, SW1P and SW1X work the same way as everywhere else we cover. You will find streets here such as Eaton Lane, Gerald Road and Wilton Road, and homes on each of them are within our area for under-stairs storage. Main roads around Victoria include the A202 and A302, and we plan where the van can stop before fitting day. Nearby, we also make under-stairs storage in Belgravia (1 mile north-west), Pimlico (1 mile south-east), Westminster (1 mile north-east), Millbank (1 mile north-east) and Brompton (1 mile west). Other parts of Westminster we cover include Marylebone (2 miles north), Covent Garden (2 miles north-east), Aldwych (2 miles north-east), Paddington Green (2 miles north-west), Paddington (2 miles north-west) and Connaught Village (2 miles north-west).
Around Victoria
Around Victoria, we cover homes near Westminster Cathedral Choir School, London Library and Wetherspoons pub, among other places. There’s a railway station in Victoria itself: London Victoria station. Well-known places in the area include Harrods (0.9 miles west) and Westminster Children's Hospital (less than half a mile south-east). Green spaces nearby include St. James's Park Lake.
How fitting works for under-stairs storage
Furniture made in a workshop still has to meet the room it is going into, and that happens on fitting day. Few walls in older London homes are truly flat or square, so each edge that meets a wall is scribed to follow it. How long the fitting itself takes depends on how much storage you want under the stairs, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Scribing is done on site, which means some cutting in the room or close by, so a clear area to work in near the room helps. Dust is kept down and cleared up as we go. Hand painting, if that is your finish, can follow the fitting.

Advice
What we don’t do
Before you plan the job, it helps to know what we don’t do:
- Moving gas pipes under the stairs
- Altering or cutting into the stairs
- Making good the walls and ceiling, which is for a plasterer or decorator
Not sure whether your space suits under-stairs storage? You can get in touch through our contact form and we’ll tell you. How a job runs, step by step.
What it is made from
- Hand-painted finish
- Birch plywood
- Pull-out drawers
- Spray-painted finish
- Moisture-resistant MDF
- Coat hooks and shoe shelves
How it’s made
Doors and drawer fronts
A door for the meter or fuse board can match the rest of the fronts. It opens wide so readings and checks are easy. The rest of the fronts can be doors, drawers or both.
Pull-out drawers
A tall pull-out drawer can hold coats on a rail or a vacuum cleaner standing up. Shorter drawers lower down suit shoes and bags. The design visit is where we agree the mix.

FAQs: under-stairs storage in Victoria
Is parking a problem for fitting in Victoria?
It can be, as controlled parking zones cover much of inner London. A van may need a visitor’s permit, a paid parking bay or a bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. Let us know what parking is near you at the design visit, and we’ll plan around it.
Do you make under-stairs storage for homes in Victoria?
Yes, Victoria is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Westminster and the rest of London. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, followed by a quote.
Can you fit furniture on an external wall?
External walls can be colder and damper than internal ones, so we allow for ventilation behind and inside the furniture, which helps avoid condensation and mould. If there is damp, it should be sorted before anything is fitted.
Which materials go into your under-stairs cupboards?
Moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish. Drawer boxes are birch plywood, as it is strong and holds screws firmly. 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. Because everything is built in our workshop, the work in your home is the fitting itself. We know the hall is a busy route, so we keep it as clear as possible.
Can you fit a small desk under the stairs?
That depends on the shape of your stairs and the room beside them. We look at it during the design visit and tell you honestly whether it will work. Where it works, it makes a neat spot for a laptop and paperwork.
