Bespoke staircases in Harborne
Solid hardwood staircases and cladding for Harborne’s Victorian terraces, semis and modern homes.
Harborne’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and newer homes means no two staircases are the same — which is exactly how we work. We design and build bespoke solid-hardwood staircases to measure, whether you’re opening up a narrow period hallway or making a feature of a new extension.
Because Harborne homes often have sound existing staircases, cladding — or retreading — is a popular option: we cover the existing stairs in solid oak for a fraction of a full rebuild. New builds and full replacements are all fitted to Building Regulations Part K by our own team.
Prefer to renovate rather than rebuild? See our stair cladding & retreading, or explore all our bespoke staircase options.
Every kind of staircase, in solid hardwood
Traditional oak staircases
Classic newel posts, turned or square spindles and a solid oak handrail — the timeless look, hand-built to suit period and new-build homes alike.
Oak & glass balustrade staircases
Warm solid timber paired with frameless toughened glass to open up landings and flood stairwells with light. Brushed brass or steel fittings to finish.
Open-tread (open-riser) staircases
Contemporary floating treads with no riser behind, for a light, sculptural feel. Engineered and fixed to stay rigid and Building-Regs compliant.
Cut-string staircases
Treads and risers exposed on a shaped outer string — a refined, joinery-led detail that shows off the craftsmanship in a traditional flight.
Curved & cantilever staircases
Sweeping curved flights and cantilevered “floating” stairs designed as the centrepiece of the home, engineered around your space.
Stair cladding & renovation
Transform a tired existing staircase by over-cladding it in solid hardwood — new treads, risers, handrails and spindles, usually in a few days.

Bespoke staircases in Harborne, answered
How much does a bespoke staircase cost in Harborne?
Harborne staircases and cladding are quoted individually. A new bespoke staircase is priced on design, timber and finish; solid oak cladding of an existing flight starts from £2,395. We confirm everything with a fixed written quote after a free survey.
Do your staircases meet Building Regulations Part K?
Yes. Every staircase we design and fit meets Building Regulations Part K, including the 100mm sphere gap between spindles, permitted going and rise, minimum headroom and handrail heights. Where accessible access is required we also design to Part M.
Can you replace a staircase without major disruption?
In many cases we can over-clad your existing staircase in solid hardwood rather than rebuilding it — new treads, risers, handrail and spindles fitted over the sound original structure. It is quicker, tidier and usually completed within a few days.
Which timbers do you use for staircases?
We build in 100% solid hardwood — European oak, American walnut, ash and sapele — never veneered MDF cores. Stairs can be left natural, oiled, lacquered, or dyed on the risers and strings for a two-tone finish.
How long does a bespoke staircase take from order to installation?
Typically 4–8 weeks depending on complexity: a free survey and measure, design drawings for your sign-off, hand manufacture in our Birmingham workshop, then installation by our own fitters.
