Bespoke open-side under-stair storage with glass balustrade, Birmingham

The problem

The most wasted space in your house.

The space under the stairs is the best-placed cupboard you’ll ever own. Right by the front door. Big enough for coats, shoes, hoover, prams, sports kit, the lot. And in most UK homes it’s a sloping triangle of dust that holds a broken umbrella and a bag of recycling.

Bespoke under-stair storage puts that space back to work.

What’s included

What bespoke under-stair storage means.

Built around the awkward shape.

The slope, the narrowing width, the step where the staircase meets the hallway — we design the units to match the exact geometry. No wasted voids. No rectangular boxes that leave triangles of unused space behind them.

Configured to how you actually use it.

Pull-out drawers for shoes. Hanging rail for coats. Shelving for hats, gloves, keys. A tall slot for the hoover. A bench to sit on while you put boots on. Whatever the space in your house actually needs.

Door style you choose.

Shaker, slab, reeded, handleless push-to-open, traditional raised panel. Match the rest of your hallway joinery or make a feature of the material.

Finished ready for your decorator.

Installed to a clean, ready-to-paint standard. Optional fill-and-sand upsell preps the surface for your decorator’s primer. We don’t paint — we leave colour to someone you trust.

Why SMBI

Why Birmingham homeowners choose SMBI.

Built around the awkward angles — not ignoring them.

The sloping ceiling, the narrowing width, the step where the staircase meets the hallway floor — all of it gets measured and built into the unit. The finished storage follows the shape of your actual stairs, not a simplified rectangle.

Scott builds on-site with dust extraction.

We keep mess to an absolute minimum — dust sheets down, vacuum extraction running throughout, and every offcut and bit of packaging taken away when we leave. The space is left cleaner than we found it.

Balance paid on completion.

30% deposit to confirm the booking. The balance paid only after you’ve walked the finished unit and signed it off. You keep the leverage until the work is right.

Snags fixed within 48 hours.

Any small adjustments — a drawer runner, a door catch, a shelf tweak — sorted within two working days. A specific commitment, not a vague promise.

about under-stair storage.

Every unit is bespoke, so we quote per job. After the free site visit you get a detailed written quote within 48 hours — no hidden extras, no estimate-that-becomes-something-else later.

More than you’d think. A typical under-stair in a three-bed semi holds: 8–10 pairs of shoes, 6–8 winter coats on a hanging rail, a full-size hoover, sports bags, recycling bins, bike helmets, and the miscellaneous stuff every hallway accumulates. We lay it out to your actual kit, not an assumption.

Yes. Access panels or removable sections are designed in at the site visit. The meter reader doesn’t end up chiselling through your new cupboard.

Typically 2–4 weeks from deposit. Install day itself is usually one day for a standard under-stair, or two days for a larger or more complex space.

We build and install to a clean, ready-to-decorate standard. An optional fill-and-sand finish preps the surface for your decorator’s primer. We don’t paint — we leave that to someone you trust with colour.

More questions are answered on the full FAQ page. Plenty of customers start under the stairs and carry the same joinery through the house — see fitted wardrobes in Birmingham and bespoke media walls.
