Our Installation Process From Design to Finished Storage

At The Stair Shop, we believe that installation should be as smooth and hassle-free as the storage solution itself. Our fully managed installation process ensures you get beautiful, functional under-stairs storage - with minimal disruption and maximum care.

A Smooth, Stress-Free Installation from Start to Finish

Step-by-Step:
What Happens After You Place Your Order


1. Scheduling Your Installation
Once your design is finalised and you’re happy with the quote, we arrange a convenient installation date. We’ll work with you to find a time that fits your schedule.

2. Pre-Installation Preparation
Before arriving: clear the area under the stairs (if possible), remove any personal items, and give our team access to the staircase area. If you have existing fixtures — like a radiator, boiler, meter boxing or pipes — tell us in advance. We’ll plan the new unit around these, ensuring everything remains accessible.

3. Professional Installation
Our experienced installers arrive prepared and get to work. Most standard under-stairs storage jobs are completed in one day — from fitting frames and carcasses to final finishing (doors, drawers, handles, soft-close mechanisms, etc.). For larger or more complex designs (e.g. extensive shelving, custom pantries, integrated lighting), the installation may take a bit longer — but we’ll always provide a clear timeframe.

4. Finishing Touches & Quality Check
After installation, we take time to ensure everything works perfectly: drawers glide smoothly, doors open and close correctly, and all joinery is secure. We tidy up thoroughly, leaving your home as we found it — but with beautiful, functional storage in place.

5. Handover & Care Instructions
We walk you through your new storage, showing you how to use any special features (like soft-close drawers, pull-out shelving, pet nooks, etc.) and giving you guidance on care and maintenance.

What We Take Care Of - 
You Only Need to “Open the Door”


> Full installation from scratch: we measure, build, fit, finish - no subcontracting or flat-pack shortcuts.

> Working around existing fixtures - radiator boxes, meters, boiler cupboards or pipework - ensuring continued access.

> High-quality finishes, precise fittings, soft-close/push-to-open mechanisms, adjustable shelving if needed.

> Minimal mess & disruption. We clean up after ourselves and leave your home tidy.

> Professional, friendly installers who respect your home and your time.

> We handle everything - you simply let us in, then sit back and watch your under-stairs space transform.


Timing, Flexibility & What to Expect

Typical lead-time: Once you approve the design and quote, we aim to schedule installation within a few weeks
(depending on our calendar and your location).

Installation duration: Most jobs are completed within 1 working day.
Larger or more complex builds may require additional time; we’ll advise you in advance.

Flexible scheduling: We’ll do our best to work around your needs - evenings or weekends, where possible.

No obligation consultation: If you’re unsure what will work under your stairs - send photos or book a free survey - we’ll advise you before any commitment.


Why Professional Installation Matters


Because every staircase is different — in shape, angle, size and layout — under-stairs storage is rarely a “one size fits all” job. Off-the-shelf units or DIY may leave wasted space, poor fit, or awkward gaps.

With a professional, bespoke installation:
> You get a perfect fit, custom-designed for your staircase — even around awkward angles or existing fixtures.

> Storage is secure, stable and built to last.

> Finish and functionality meet high standards — from smooth drawers to perfectly aligned doors.

> Your investment in storage adds value to your home, rather than looking like a temporary or ill-fitting add-on.

As one industry expert notes: bespoke under-stairs storage “makes efficient use of an area that might otherwise be wasted,” while adding practical value and aesthetic appeal.
