Lancashire is a county of stone terraces in the mill towns, seaside boarding houses and rural farmhouses. 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
Every run of under-stair storage we make starts with a site survey and a set of setting-out drawings, not a catalogue page. We measure the opening in Lancashire, check the walls for wind and the floor for fall, then cut a carcass that fits the room you actually have.
How we build it
Hardware is specified to the weight it is carrying, not to a price point. Soft-close runners are rated for the drawer load, hinges are adjustable in three planes, and sliding gear is sized so a full-height door still moves with one finger a decade later.
Finish and materials
Every finished job gets a short handover: what the surface is, how to clean it, and how to adjust a hinge if a door drops after the heating has been on for a season. Adjustment is normal in timber and takes about two minutes once you know which screw to turn.

What happens next
Four steps, no surprises
Survey
A joiner visits, measures the opening, checks for level and plumb, and talks through how you want to use the space.
Drawings & quote
You get a setting-out drawing and a fixed written price. Nothing is ordered until you have approved both.
Workshop
Parts are machined, assembled and finished under cover while the site carries on with other trades.
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 Lancashire — common questions
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.
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.
Can you match existing joinery in the house?
Yes. We take a profile of the existing skirting, architrave or door and either match it from stock cutters or have a cutter ground so the new work runs identically. Matching an old paint colour is straightforward; matching aged oak takes a sample panel and a couple of attempts, which we build into the programme.
