Take the guess work out of your stairs by planning ahead. Deciding on the type of stair you want before you finish drawing up plans ensures the dramatic staircase of your dreams will fit in your house. All too often the staircase gets left until last. We are always happy to help at the planning stage and can often save you time and money. If you need extensive help in planning or designing a large job, we can consult with you at an hourly rate.

Don’t wait until a week before you need the stair to organise a quotation. Most good firms have work ahead of them, us included. If we have a waiting period, that means that if you sign a quotation and give us a deposit today, it will be up to 2/4 weeks until we begin working on your job. It takes time to do good work. If you are going to be living with your stair for thirty years, does another two weeks really matter to get it right? A quality staircase is worth the wait, though it may seem a long time now.

We plan and design your staircase.

You may want French polishing, staining, painting, or carpeting. These choices can affect your choice of timber. For example, if you know you want to paint and carpet the stair, a less expensive timber can be used. Choose and book a French polisher if you want one. The stair should not be walked on until it is polished or painted. The unfinished wood on a new stair can be easily being scratched or stained. It is best to have it sealed within one week of completion of the stair or a base coat and then have or finished once all trades have left the house.
