Under-Stair Storage in Bristol

It depends on the size of the void and what goes into it. A run of simple panelled cupboard doors is a smaller job than a set of full-depth pull-out drawers on heavy-duty runners with a hand-painted finish.

Every staircase is a different shape, so we quote after measuring rather than from a price list. Quotes are free and itemised.

Yes, and it's worth raising at the first visit. Many Bristol terraces have a cellar hatch, a gas or electricity meter, or a stopcock tucked under the stairs.

These can be designed around with a removable panel or a dedicated door, so everything stays accessible without breaking up the look of the run.

Yes — in a Bristol hallway it's one of the most common requests. The tall end of the under-stair void is usually the right height for a bike, a buggy or a vacuum cleaner, so we plan that section as full-height space and use the shallower tapering end for shoes and smaller items.

For fitted storage in an existing under-stair space, no — it's joinery rather than structural work.

The exception is if the staircase itself is being altered, or the space is being converted into a WC, which brings other trades and regulations into play.

The build happens off site, so disruption in your hallway is limited to the measuring visit and the fitting. Because the hallway is the main route through the house, we plan the fit to keep it usable and clear up at the end of each day.

You'll get a realistic timescale with your quote.

Yes. Panelled doors can be made to echo the existing internal doors, and the whole run can be hand-painted to match your skirting, architrave or wall colour. In a period hallway the aim is usually that it reads as original rather than as something added later.
