We design the layout around your storage needs
We discuss what you need to store and how often it needs to be reached, then plan shelves, cupboards or drawers around the stair slope. Regularly used items need practical access, while deeper space can suit occasional storage. We check door travel and the adjoining walkway as part of the layout.
We measure the slope and plan access
We measure the stair slope and the changing depth along the opening, then check door swings, drawer travel and the adjoining walkway. Service access and fixing positions are kept in the layout, with fillers and edge finishing planned against the existing walls, floor and stair.
Our component, assembly and finishing plan
Our completed-project gallery brings together different under-stair installations, including tall cupboards, open shelves and varied door layouts. We use these examples to discuss how each part of your sloping space can be reached and used; they are separate projects, not one before-and-after sequence.
The complete installation scope
Our proposal brings the layout, component supply, installation and finishing together. We check the following details when planning usable storage beneath the stairs:
- Layout and access: we measure the slope, opening and door travel and identify access that must remain beside or beneath the stair.
- Components: we confirm materials, hardware, product suitability and the supply or fabrication arrangements before ordering.
- Fitted finish: we specify installation, edge treatment, making good and any removal or decoration against the adjoining stair and skirting.
Arrange an under-stair storage assessment
Tell us your suburb and what you would like to store. We arrange the on-site measure, assess the available opening and discuss cupboards, drawers or shelving with you. The quote confirms the selected layout, component supply, fitting and finish; existing room photos are optional.
Questions before booking
Can Ellis fit storage below my staircase?
Yes. Our carpentry team measures and plans the accepted storage installation around the available space, selected components and access requirements.
How do you keep access to services behind the storage?
We identify the access points during the site measure and plan the cupboard, drawer or shelving arrangement around them. Door travel, removable access and the final edge treatment are agreed with the installation layout.
Can standard cabinetry be used?
We measure the opening and slope and check the selected unit against access and the intended layout. Product suitability, any fabrication and the fitted finish are confirmed before supply is agreed.
