Classic quarter-turn staircase in pale wood with round spindles

From measuring to fitting

Jesse measures the stair opening to the millimetre with a laser and makes a 3D drawing, so you see beforehand how the staircase runs and what it looks like. Then we saw, rout and glue the staircase in our workshop. Fitting usually takes one day.

Which staircase where

A straight flight is the simplest and cheapest. If space is tight, it becomes a quarter-turn or half-turn staircase with winding treads. Floating treads, fixed into the wall or onto a steel beam, make a small hallway feel bigger.

In old houses with a sloping floor we fit every tread individually. You won’t see it, but you will feel it.

What does bespoke cost?

A straight oak staircase, oiled and fitted, from €3,950. A quarter-turn staircase from €5,400, floating treads from €6,800. Cladding an existing staircase in oak from €2,100. All prices include VAT.

What you'll want to know about staircases

  1. What dimensions does a staircase have to meet?

    For new builds the rule is a maximum rise of 18.8 centimetres and a minimum going of 22 centimetres. In an existing house it can sometimes be steeper, but we stick to those sizes as closely as we can. Your knees will notice.

  2. How long from drawing to staircase?

    Allow six to eight weeks: a week for the drawing, four to six weeks in the workshop and one day to fit. Until then you simply use your old stairs.

Our old staircase was so steep the children went down it backwards. The new oak quarter-turn staircase fits the same opening but is far nicer to use. Jesse showed us a 3D drawing beforehand, and that is exactly how it turned out.
