Customer Feedback
"We did a huge make-over of our barn conversion and really struggled to find the right answer for a flight of stairs serving a loft study. They needed to blend into the room rather than be a feature and the stairs you made for us have provided the perfect answer. I hope the pictures to follow will be of some use - taken on my phone as I don't have a camera at the moment. The new stairs replaced a spiral staircase and as they serve only a loft didn't need to comply with building regs, which was something many people couldn't handle. I was so very happy and relieved to find your company. The whole experience was a joy from start to finish. Within hours of providing the dimensions, specifying oak treads, softwood stringers without risers and no balustrade we had a price, a plan and a 3D perspective of the stairs. In considerably less than the 3-week delivery period quoted, we had the stairs themselves which are a great success. They are complimented by everyone who sees them. After months of trying to find a solution from other suppliers, who didn't even seem to be able to give us a price let alone build exactly what we wanted, we were really happy to find a company so focussed on making the entire process so stream-lined and quick, delivering a quality product, ahead of time and within our budget. We would unreservedly recommend your company to anyone in the market for a new staircase. Many thanks & best wishes - Melanie Mawer" - Melanie Mawer

Other Layouts:
We also offer other staircase layouts, these include, paddle stairs, S-shape stairs, T-shape stairs or stairs with three or more turns. We also offer stairs suitable for commercial buildings which are wider and made from more substantial materials than domestic staircases.
Styles & Materials
Construction Methods:
All layouts of staircases can be constructed in different ways which will effect the final finish, these include:
- Open riser construction; this is where the risers are left open with either a timber strip or metal bar built in to comply to regulations.
- Cut string construction; where the sides of the strings are cut away so the treads can be seen, this can either be done in a modern or traditional way.
Materials:
The materials used on your staircase will have a dramatic effect on how they look, most stairs will use the following materials.
- Pine; all our stairs are manufactured from high quality furniture grade pine, we do not use any whitewood.
- White Oak; we can manufacture all or part(s) of your staircase from premium White Oak, to give that stunning finish.
- Glass; we offer stairs with glass balustrade, either as small panels or large panels, secured with brackets or by embedding with a groove.
