Professional workshop shelving installation across Exeter and Devon. We install heavy-duty shelving systems in garages, sheds, and workshops, designed to handle tool weight and workshop use.
Workshop and garage wall space is valuable storage real estate that's often wasted. Proper shelving gets tools, paint, materials, and equipment off the floor and organised, transforming workshop functionality.
We install workshop shelving that's actually fit for purpose - sturdy construction that handles weight, properly secured to walls, and designed around your specific storage needs.
| Shelving Type | Best For | Typical Load | Installation Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Timber-framed | General workshop storage | 20-25kg per shelf | 2-3 hours |
| Metal bracket | Heavy tools, paint | 25-30kg per shelf | 2-2.5 hours |
| Mixed system | Custom requirements | Variable | 2.5-3.5 hours |
We'll design the layout to suit your space and what you're storing - deep shelves for large items, shallow shelves for smaller tools, spacing that accommodates paint tins or toolboxes. The shelving is securely fixed to walls, not wobbling after a few months.

What to Expect
1. Assessment and planning We'll look at your workshop space, discuss what you need to store, and recommend a shelving layout. We'll measure available wall space and confirm shelf depths, spacing, and overall design with you.
2. Building and installation We build the shelving system, securing it properly to wall studs or masonry. Shelves are level and adequately supported for the intended loads. We work around existing workshop features and equipment.
3. Testing and organisation advice We check all shelves are secure and level. We can advise on logical organisation - frequently used items at easy height, heavy items on lower shelves, etc. You'll have functional storage that transforms workshop usability.
🔧 DIY Tips
- Fix shelving to wall studs or masonry, not just plasterboard
- Heavy items should go on lower shelves for stability
- Plan shelf spacing for what you actually store - one-size-fits-all wastes space
- Label shelves or use clear containers so you can find things
- Leave workspace clear - don't let shelves creep into functional work areas
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
Workshop shelving is often done alongside workbench installation for complete workshop setup. If you're planning both, doing them together saves time and money as we're already on site with materials. The most common regret people have about workshop shelving is not doing it sooner - the transformation in organisation and functionality is immediate and makes every workshop task easier.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of shelving do you install in workshops?
We typically install sturdy timber-framed shelving or heavy-duty metal bracket systems. Choice depends on what you're storing, wall type, and budget. All workshop shelving is built to handle tool weight, not just light storage.
How much does workshop shelving installation cost?
Most workshop shelving installations cost £110-£160 (2-3 hours labour). This covers a typical run of shelving - maybe 6-8ft wide, 3-4 shelves high. Materials are additional. Larger installations take longer.
Can the shelving handle heavy items like paint tins and tools?
Yes, we design workshop shelving for heavy loads. Typical construction handles 20-30kg per shelf when properly supported. For very heavy items (large toolboxes, equipment), we'll use heavier construction methods.
Do you work with existing workshop layouts?
Yes, we fit shelving around existing benches, doors, windows, and equipment. We'll maximise usable wall space while maintaining workshop functionality. Awkward spaces are often perfect for storage shelves.
