Norfolk is a county of flint and pantile cottages, Georgian Norwich terraces and coastal second homes. 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
Off-the-shelf units are made to standard sizes and then filled out with scribe strips. Our run of under-stair storage work is cut to the dimensions taken from your Norfolk property, so there is no packing, no filler and no gap that opens up in year two.
How we build it
Carcass work is birch ply or MR MDF depending on span and load. Face frames and doors are solid hardwood. Everything is machined on the same setting so stiles, rails and reveals line through, and shadow gaps stay parallel from one end of the run to the other.
Finish and materials
Finishing happens in the workshop wherever possible. Sprayed paint gives an even film that brushwork cannot match, and the only work left on site is the final touch-in around scribes and fixings.

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 Norfolk — common questions
What actually fits under a staircase?
More than you think. A typical straight flight gives you three usable zones: a full-height cupboard at the tall end, mid-height pull-outs in the middle, and shallow shoe or wine storage at the low end. Pull-outs are the key — a deep fixed cupboard means crawling in on your hands and knees.
Is there a fire regulation issue?
There can be. If the stair is the only escape route in a house of three storeys or more, the understairs enclosure must be fire-resisting and cannot be used for certain storage. We check this at survey and specify accordingly.
Can a downstairs loo go under the stairs instead?
Frequently yes, if there is 1,900mm of headroom over the pan position and drainage is reachable. We build the enclosure, door and any vanity; the plumbing is a separate trade.
Can it be made to disappear into the wall?
Yes — push-to-open fronts with no handles, painted the same colour as the wall and scribed to the skirting line. Done properly you have to look twice to see it is there.
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.
