Herefordshire is a county of half-timbered farmhouses, sandstone cottages and low-density rural properties. That is exactly the kind of building stock a run of under-stair storage has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
A run of under-stair storage is a permanent part of the building, so it is worth setting out properly. We take the survey, agree the drawings, machine the parts in the workshop and fit in Herefordshire in one visit wherever the programme allows.
How we build it
Moisture matters more than most people expect. Timber is conditioned before machining, and anything going into a kitchen, utility or bathroom is specified in materials that will not swell at the bottom edge. That is why the base of a well-made unit still closes cleanly after five winters.
Finish and materials
You can have it primed for your own decorator, sprayed in any RAL or heritage colour, or left in oiled timber. Oiled finishes can be refreshed at home; sprayed finishes are harder wearing and are what we recommend for kitchens and anything at knee height.

Fit & handover
We fit, scribe, adjust and touch in, then walk you through care and adjustment before we leave.
Straight answers
Under-Stairs Storage in Herefordshire — common questions
Can the meter or consumer unit stay accessible?
It has to. We build a removable or hinged access panel so the meter reader and an electrician can get to it without dismantling the joinery.
How heavy can a pull-out unit be?
The runners we use are rated to 70kg per pair loaded. A tall pull-out full of coats and boots will get close to that, so the carcass is built in 18mm ply rather than MDF.
Will it work on a winder or curved stair?
Yes, but it takes more setting out and each unit is a different shape. Expect the price per metre to be higher than a straight flight.
Do you have to remove the existing cupboard door?
Usually yes. The standard builder's door under a stair wastes most of the volume behind it. Replacing it with a bank of pull-outs typically doubles what you can store and reach.
How long does a bespoke job take from order to fitting?
Most fitted furniture runs four to eight weeks from approved drawings to fitting day. Kitchens, staircases and timber windows are longer at eight to fourteen weeks because the components are larger and the finishing schedule is longer. We give you a date band at quotation and confirm the fitting week once the drawings are signed off.
