Wood Green Under-Stairs Storage
Walls in older London homes are rarely straight, so we scribe the furniture to follow them. We make under-stairs storage for homes in Wood Green, each designed at a visit to your home.
- A fuse board that is hard to get to
- A hallway crowded with coats and shoes
- A low corner too deep to reach into
Under-stairs storage designed for your room
About our under-stairs storage in Wood Green
When the hall is tight, the space under the stairs is often the only place left for coats, shoes and bags. 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. It is a small change that makes a busy hallway feel ordered. If you are living with nowhere to keep the vacuum and ironing board and a low corner too deep to reach into, under-stairs cupboards made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand can solve it.
Hallways in period terraces are often long and narrow, with the stairs rising along one wall. A large share of the homes around Wood Green were built before 1919, so every bit of depth is weighed up when storage is planned. Shallow units keep the way through clear.

Making use of awkward spaces in Wood Green
The biggest shares of homes in the streets around Wood Green were built before 1919 (about 62%) and since 2000 (about 13%), according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). That matters for under-stairs cupboards, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. There are 20 entries on the National Heritage List within half a mile of the centre of Wood Green. Original fireplaces, shutters and panelling are worth keeping where they survive, and under-stairs cupboards can be designed to work around them. Red routes, run by TfL, have strict rules on stopping and loading. If your home is on or just off a main road, it’s useful to mention it. Then we can work out where to load and unload.
If you live in a period home close to Church of St Michael and All Angels, the cupboard door under a period staircase can be kept or replaced to match the new storage. Close to Woodside Park? Living near green space often means muddy boots, bikes and outdoor kit, and under-stairs cupboards can give those things a place. The wider area includes historic houses such as Bruce Castle, about 1.4 miles east. 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.
Wood Green is about 2 miles east of Tottenham, part of the London Borough of Haringey. Whether your home in Wood Green is a terraced house, a flat or a newer build, we measure the room as it is and design around it. Wood Green is one of the places in Haringey where we make under-stairs storage, and the borough has 23 places on our list.
We cover every part of the N22 and N8 postcode area. Our area takes in homes on streets like Vincent Square, Station Road and Gathorne Road, along with the roads around them, for under-stairs storage and any of our other fitted furniture. Main roads around Wood Green include the B151, and we plan where the van can stop before fitting day. Neighbouring places we cover for under-stairs storage include Noel Park (1 mile south-east), Turnpike Lane (1 mile south), Hornsey (1 mile south-west), Crouch End (1 mile south-west) and Stroud Green (2 miles south). Across the rest of Haringey, our area takes in Tottenham (2 miles east), Tottenham Green (2 miles south-east), South Tottenham (2 miles south-east), Seven Sisters (2 miles south-east), Finsbury Park (2 miles south) and Highgate (2 miles south-west). Being one of the larger places in Haringey, Wood Green is covered for under-stairs storage and everything else we make.

Flats, conversions and lettings
If your building is on a red route or a busy main road, getting the furniture from the van to the door needs planning. TfL runs the red routes, and the stopping rules are strict, so it is worth raising during the design visit.
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. If there is a lift, it may need booking, and its size matters when we plan the sections. Tell us about it when you contact us.
Tips worth knowing
Because fitted furniture stays put, a little upkeep goes a long way. A few pointers help:
- Think about how your household uses coats and shoes
- Make a list of what you want to store before the design visit
- Bring paint colours you like to the design visit
- Clear the space before the design visit if you can
Heavy items are best kept in the lower drawers. It helps the runners and keeps the storage working well. Shelves are made for the things you told us about at the design visit, so it is worth keeping to that plan.
Check now and then that handles and hinges are tight. Tightening a screw early stops a small looseness becoming a problem. If a drawer stops running smoothly, tell us about the room on our contact form and describe it.
How fitting day works
Furniture made in a workshop still has to meet the room it is going into, and fitting day is where that happens. Walls in older homes are rarely flat or square, so we scribe the edges by hand to follow the wall, until the line is tight. How long the fitting itself takes depends on the shape of the space and the number of drawers and doors, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. In houses converted into flats, the route in may include a shared hall and stairs, so neighbours may appreciate a note before fitting day. Each section is sized for the tightest door or turn. Saturday fitting is possible by prior arrangement.
- It starts with a few details from you about the space.
- We come to measure and talk through the design.
- We send a written quote covering the design, materials and finish.
- We make the drawers and cupboards in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit it in your home with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish, and run through each drawer and door with you.
- Treat the fresh paintwork gently while it cures; a hand-painted finish is easy to touch up later.
Before we arrive

- Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician in advance
- Book any lift and let the concierge or building manager know
Getting a quote
There’s no price list: each design is priced in writing after we’ve seen the space. Each room is different, so we quote after seeing it. To arrange a visit, use our contact form.

How we price under-stairs storage
To work out the quote, we look at:
- The number of doors and drawers
- Parking near your home
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- What goes inside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers
Rooms that are not square take more work: walls that lean, floors that slope and sloping ceilings all mean more scribing and cutting. The quote allows for it, written once we have measured up.
Getting in touch
To give us a picture of the room, it’s useful to include:
- Examples of the look you’re after
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
- Rough measurements: width, height and depth
You don’t need exact measurements to get started. We measure everything properly during the design visit. To arrange it, fill in our short enquiry form. The written quote follows the visit.

Questions we’re often asked
I live near Alexandra Palace station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Haringey and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can tell us about the room on our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Do you make under-stairs storage for homes in Wood Green?
Yes. Wood Green is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Haringey and London. To get started, you can get in touch through our contact form with some details.
Do photos help?
Yes, they help. Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling, give us a good idea of the space. You can send them when you tell us about the room on our contact form.
What if my walls and floors are out of level?
Walls and floors that aren’t true are part of the job in older homes. We trim the edges to follow the wall and level the base, so it sits tight to the room.
Can the under-stairs storage be painted to match the hall?
Yes. You choose the colour, and we agree it before the work starts. A spray-painted finish is done in our workshop, and a hand-painted one can be done on site. Either finish can follow a colour already in the hall.
What does an under-stairs cupboard cost?
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. Drawers typically involve more work than plain shelving, and the finish makes a difference too. Everything is set out in a written quote after the visit.
