SERVICE SCOPE
We plan storage around the available space
An alcove, under-stair space or fitted unit starts with what it needs to hold and how it will be used. This differs from adjusting a cupboard hinge. Describe open shelves, doors, drawers or a mix, and existing features that must remain accessible.
We measure the opening and check adjoining skirting, doors, vents, power points and uneven surfaces. These details guide the fitted layout so doors can open properly and necessary service access remains available.
- Storage needed under stairs
- An alcove that needs measured shelving
- Cabinet doors that need a matched replacement
Our measured layout and manufacture plan
We measure the space, check fixing surfaces and compare the adjoining finishes. We explain suitable standard or made-to-fit components and confirm the layout, hardware, manufacture or supply and fitting before ordering.
The installation plan and quote identify material, edge treatment and finish, supply, delivery, fitting and making-good. A replacement door needs agreement on the achievable match beside aged cabinetry. Structural walls, stairs and concealed services need their applicable checks; electrical and plumbing changes require the relevant trade scope.
Built-in wardrobes and under-stair storage planning
We plan a built-in wardrobe around your hanging, shelf and drawer needs. For under-stair storage, we assess the slope, available opening and access that must remain clear. Door travel, nearby services and the measured space guide a practical fitted layout.
We discuss the layout or drawings with you and confirm fabrication, product supply and fitting arrangements in the proposal. Existing hinge and runner repairs can be handled through our cabinet repair service; new built-in storage starts with a measured layout.
What do you include in a built-in wardrobe installation plan?
We set out the measured layout, storage use, door and drawer clearances, materials, hardware, finish, manufacture or supply arrangements, fitting and making-good in the proposal. We identify the drawings or samples for your approval before ordering.
