Surrey is a county of 1930s semis, Arts and Crafts detached houses and a steady flow of new-build estates. 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 Surrey property, so there is no packing, no filler and no gap that opens up in year two.
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.

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 Surrey — common questions
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.
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.
How do I pay, and when?
A deposit at order to cover materials, a stage payment when the work leaves the workshop, and the balance on completion after you have inspected the fit. Everything is written into the quotation before you commit.
