Bespoke fitted furniture
Under-stairs storage that uses every inch
The space under a staircase is often the least used in a house. I design, make and fit pull-out storage that slides out into the hallway, so the whole depth of the space can be used and nothing gets lost at the back.
A typical under-stairs unit is £3,000 to £5,000 plus VAT. See typical budgets

Common challenges
What I'm often asked to solve
Everything I make is bespoke, so there's no menu of options. These are the problems that come up most often, and how I deal with them.
Reaching the back
Pull-outs slide out into the hallway, so the whole depth of the space can be used and nothing gets lost at the back.
Following the stairs
Every piece is built to the angle of your staircase, with fronts cut to follow the line of the stairs.
Checking it all moves
I model the unit in 3D first to check every pull-out clears the stairs as it moves.
Shoes, coats and boots
A pull-out can be a tiered shoe rack, or a tall locker with hooks for coats and room for boots.
Matching your staircase
Fronts sprayed in any colour, or made in solid oak to match an oak staircase.
Built for daily use
Heavy-duty concealed runners with soft-close, so the pull-outs run smoothly every day.
“We got in touch with Joe as we needed someone to design and build some understairs storage for us. From the start Joe was a pleasure to deal with, prompt to reply to our enquiry and keen to understand our needs. Joe came up with helpful suggestions and detailed plans to make sure we were happy with the final design. The installation was completed to a high standard with minimal fuss and we would not hesitate to use Joe again or to recommend him to others.”
