Also from the same workshop

All types of metalwork to go with it.

If your staircase needs a balcony to land on or a balustrade to meet, we make that too, in the same finish so it all matches.

Balconies

Steel balconies and Juliet balconies, professionally painted to match, with glass or bar infill.

Balustrades

Vertical bar, horizontal rail, mesh or glass, to Building Regulations heights.

Handrails

Wall-mounted and post-mounted handrails for steps, ramps and paths.

Railings & gates

Boundary railings, side gates and driveway gates in matching steel.

Platforms & walkways

Landings, access platforms and walkways for awkward levels.

Finishes

Professionally painted. Built for weather.

Every staircase is professionally spray painted in our workshop after fabrication: primed, then finished in the colour you choose. Most people pick black or anthracite, and any RAL shade can be matched to match windows, railings or a designer's scheme. If a project calls for it, the steel can be galvanised or powder coated.

Treads are steel chequer plate as standard, or perforated for drainage. If your landscaper is supplying oak or stone treads, we design the steel structure to take them.

Quick answers

Before you ask.

Do I need planning permission?

It mostly comes down to height. A landing or platform more than 0.3 m above the ground can count as a raised platform, which needs planning permission. Flats and listed buildings have tighter rules, as do conservation areas. We confirm this when we measure up.

Can it really be fitted in a week?

For a straightforward staircase, yes: survey, drawing, fabrication and painting can be turned round in about a week. Complex designs and galvanising add time, and we'll give you a date at the quote stage.

What does a staircase cost?

Straight painted flights start at a few thousand pounds; spirals, split-levels and curved designs cost more. Our cost guide gives ranges for each type.
