If you're in need of more storage and considering up grading your home with under stair storage, you're properly wondering;

How much do under stair storage units cost?

Before we delve into the cost, there's a few things that we should outline to help you understand exactly what under stair storage is.

What is under stair storage?

Under stair storage is a clever solution that maximizes the often overlooked space beneath the staircase. It is a custom-built storage unit that is designed to fit perfectly into this area, providing a practical and organized storage solution. With under stair storage, you can conveniently store and organize various items such as coats, shoes, and other household belongings.

At JAX Bespoke, every storage unit is made to measure. When you opt to have your under stair storage made by JAX Bespoke, one of the team will go, meet you and gather the exact measurements of your staircase to ensure a seamless, perfect fit and installation.

Styles of under stair storage

Multi Drawers

A popular design choice for under stair storage units is the mutli drawer style. Much like in the name, these units consist of multiple drawers. You have the option to choose panelled drawer fronts for a stylish look or flush doors for a more minimalist aesthetic. The drawers are typically handle-less and equipped with a convenient push-to-open feature. The advantage of a bespoke under stair storage unit is that you can decide on the number of drawers that best fits your needs and the available space.

Vertical doors

Another popular design choice is the vertical door style. This style features tall vertical panels, each one functioning as a door. Again, you have the flexibility to select panelled door fronts for a stylish appearance or flush doors for a more minimalist look.

 The doors can be hinged doors that swing open or tall drawers that pull open. If you opt for hinged doors, you can have shelves behind them, which is ideal for narrow stairs where drawers may not have enough depth. On the other hand, if you have wider stairs, tall drawers can be a great option as they provide more storage space and can accommodate hanging items.

 Before designing your under stair storage unit, it's important to have a clear idea of what you want to store in it. This will ensure that the final design meets all your requirements and maximises the available space effectively.

When it comes to designing your under stair storage unit, the possibilities are endless. With a bespoke design, you have the freedom to create a storage solution that perfectly suits your needs and preferences.

Have you thought about what you would like to store, how best to store it and found that the answer is with drawers and doors? You can do that!

At JAX Bespoke we have often fit units that incorporate pull-out drawers on the lower part of the stairs to store smaller items such as shoes, and on the tallest part of the stairs, we can install a unit with a cupboard that has a door. This cupboard can be used to store larger items such as a hoover or an ironing board. By utilizing this back cupboard section, you can keep these items neatly tucked away and easily accessible when needed.

How're under stair storage units made?

After gathering measurements during the site survey, we template the measurements on our custom-made stair rack to ensure the accuracy of each angle before manufacturing begins. Once all the pieces are cut to the correct measurements, they are assembled against the template.

Next, the unit is checked and prepared for transportation. If the customer has chosen to have a sprayed (painted) finish, the external components are transported to the sprayers at this point.

When it's time for installation, the JAX Bespoke team will arrive with your unit ready to be fitted. Usually, the unit is in sections that will be fitted one by one after your existing under stair space is dismantled and removed.

Sizes of under stair storage units

During the site survey, we carefully measure the full length of the staircase. If the entire space is available, we can create a storage unit that maximises your usable storage space. However, in some cases, the under stair space may be partially occupied, for example, by a toilet room. But don't worry, our JAX Bespoke team will make the most of the remaining space to create a custom storage unit for you.

What will drive up your under stair storage quote?

The final quote for your under stair storage may be influenced by additional specifications and features that you choose. For example, if you desire lighting inside the unit, this will incur an additional cost.

Other elements that can increase the cost of your under stair unit include adding shaker doors to the design, choosing a specific colour for the unit
externals to be sprayed/painted, and adding additional drawers to your design. As a standard, At JAX Bespoke, under stair storage units are made
with melamine internals and MRMDF externals; however, if you want a different finish, such as natural oak, this will also incur an additional cost as
it is a more luxurious and expensive material. With under stair storage units, the possibilities for customisation are endless, but it's important to keep in
mind that each addition will result in an additional cost to your final quote.

The JAX bespoke team will remove your pre existing under stair space in order to
make room for the new unit, then will then leave the waste on the property for the
customer to dispose of.
