Boiler cupboard shelving that works around your boiler and pipework. Turn that awkward space into useful storage without blocking access or causing safety issues. Custom-fitted to make the most of every inch.
Boiler cupboards are frustrating - loads of potential storage space, but the boiler and pipes are in the way. Chuck stuff in and it blocks the boiler. Leave it empty and you've wasted the space.
We design and fit shelving that works around the obstacles. Shelves above, beside, and below the boiler where appropriate. Everything accessible, nothing blocking ventilation or service access, maximum storage achieved.

| Wide shallow | L-shaped around sides | 4-5 shelves |

What to Expect
Step 1: Cupboard assessment - We measure the space, identify boiler clearances needed, note pipe positions, and discuss what you want to store. This determines shelf depth, spacing, and layout.
Step 2: Custom fitting - We cut and install shelving to fit around your specific setup. Shelves are securely mounted to walls (not resting on pipes). We work around obstacles rather than bodging things.
Step 3: Safety check - We ensure boiler access panels open fully, ventilation isn't blocked, and any controls remain reachable. Your boiler engineer will still be able to service it without hassle.
🔧 DIY Tips
Measure boiler clearances required (check the manual or ask your engineer) before adding shelves. Front access usually needs 50-70cm clear space. Keep shelves 10cm away from flues and vents. Fix to wall studs or use proper wall anchors - boiler cupboard walls are often plasterboard. Don't attach anything to the boiler itself or pipework. Consider adjustable brackets if you might need to change shelf heights later.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
Send photos of your boiler cupboard including the boiler position, dimensions, and what you want to store. Helps us plan and bring the right materials. We can match existing cupboard finishes if you provide a sample or photo. Remember to keep a step stool nearby if we fit high shelves - you'll need it to access them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you fit shelves around a boiler safely?
Yes. We ensure shelving doesn't obstruct boiler ventilation, access panels, or emergency controls. We know what clearances are needed and build shelves to work around the boiler, not interfere with it.
What materials do you use for boiler cupboard shelving?
Usually sturdy timber or melamine-faced boards depending on your preference and budget. We avoid anything that'll warp in warm conditions. Shelving needs to handle towels, cleaning products, and general storage weight.
How much shelving can you fit in a boiler cupboard?
Depends on cupboard size and boiler position. We'll maximize usable space while maintaining safe access to the boiler. Usually we can fit 3-5 shelves in a standard cupboard, working around pipes and the boiler itself.
Will the shelves block access to my boiler?
No. We design shelving so engineers can still access the boiler for servicing. This usually means keeping the area directly in front of the boiler clear and using L-shaped or offset shelving.
