Woodside Park Under-Stairs Storage
Walls in older London homes are rarely straight, so we scribe the furniture to follow them. Our work on under-stairs storage in Woodside Park starts with a design visit, and everything is built in our workshop.
- The low end of the space going to waste
- Nowhere to put coats, shoes and bags
- An old cupboard door that doesn’t suit the hall

Under-stairs storage for homes in Woodside 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. Most enquiries start with needing a compact spot for a laptop and stairs open to a room, with clutter on show; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand.
Not every home has a loft conversion, a bay or a cupboard under the stairs, but most have a recess, a landing or a corner that could take storage. For a home in Woodside Park, the design visit is where the options are worked out. The storage is made in our workshop and fitted in your home.
If the job needs another trade, like an electrician or a plumber, we’ll tell you. Our quote covers the carpentry: the design, the materials and the finish.

What under-stairs storage cannot fix
Our work is the furniture itself: designing it, making it in our workshop and fitting it. In practice, that means:
- Making good the walls and ceiling, which is for a plasterer or decorator
- Relocating meters, which your energy supplier deals with
- Gas pipework, which needs a Gas Safe engineer
Not sure whether your space suits under-stairs storage? You can message us from the contact page and we’ll tell you. How it works.

- Coat hooks and shoe shelves
- Birch plywood
Flats, leases and landlords
If the property is let, we will need access agreed with the tenants. An agent can arrange access for you.
In a flat, the route in matters as much as the room. At the design visit, we measure the stairs, the landings, any lift and the doors, so the furniture can be made in sections that fit through without a struggle.
Questions we are often asked
My home in Woodside Park is a flat. How do you get the furniture in?
We measure the route in not just the room: the stairs, landings, lift and doors. Under-stairs cupboards are made at our workshop in sections sized to fit that route, then assembled in your flat. It helps to check any building rules and your lease before fitting day.
Can you make under-stairs storage for a home in Woodside Park?
Yes, we work across Barnet, Woodside Park included, and across the rest of London. You can get in touch through our contact form to arrange a design visit.
How do I get a quote for under-stairs storage in Woodside Park?
Simply fill in our short enquiry form. It is useful to send rough measurements and a few photos, and then we arrange a visit to measure and discuss the design, followed by a quote in writing.
What if my walls and floors are out of level?
It is something we deal with all the time. The furniture is scribed to follow the walls and levelled on feet or a plinth.
Can you add sockets inside the units?
No. Electrical work is not something we do; it is a job for your electrician. We can allow for cable routes in the design.
Do I choose the paint colour?
You choose it. We agree the colour with you, and it is set out in the quote.

Fitted storage in Woodside Park
The biggest shares of homes in the neighbourhood around Woodside Park were built before 1919 (about 29%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 29%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. There are 6 entries on the National Heritage List within half a mile of the centre of Woodside Park. You can check whether a particular building is listed on Historic England’s list. Parking controls in London are set borough by borough, so Barnet has its own. If parking near you is controlled, a visitor permit or a bay suspension may be needed, and the council arranges suspensions, often with notice. It helps to let us know about parking at the measuring visit.
Heath Hall, about 3 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. For a period home anywhere nearby, pull-out drawers can reach right to the back of a deep under-stairs space. If you live in a flat close to Oakleigh Park station, check any building rules on lifts and working hours early, and the sections will be sized for the way in. For a family home near Northside Primary School, a place for each person’s coat and shoes stops the hallway filling up.
Woodside Park is in the London Borough of Barnet, about 1 mile south of Finchley. We cover Woodside Park as part of our work across Barnet. We list Woodside Park among 41 places we cover in Barnet.

What happens on fitting day
Finishing comes last. With a spray finish from the workshop, there’s normally only filling and touching up to do in the room; if you chose hand painting, that can be done in the room once the furniture is fitted. The finish is always the one agreed in your quote. London parking ranges from controlled zones to driveways and private bays, so tell us what applies at the design visit. For a flat, building rules on lifts and working hours are worth checking.
- You get in touch and describe the stairs and the hall.
- We visit to measure the space at several points along the slope, as stairs and walls are rarely square in older houses.
- Your written quote sets out the design, materials and finish.
- In our workshop we build every part from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, following the slope we measured.
- On fitting day the units are set level and scribed to follow the stairs and walls.
How to prepare
- Clear the walls of pictures and shelves
- Keep pets out of the room and the hallway
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone

Boards, parts and paint
Hand-painted finish
Hand painting can be done on site after fitting. It’s easy to touch up if it gets marked, which helps in a well-used hall.
Doors and drawer fronts
A door for the meter or fuse board can match the rest of the fronts. It opens fully so the meter stays easy to read. Around it, the other fronts can be drawers, doors or a mix.
Could you do it yourself?
Cost matters, and it’s fair to say so: flat-pack is typically cheaper to buy. Bespoke makes more sense where the room is awkward, the space is valuable or you want the furniture to look built in.
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.
