Our Staircase Services

Bespoke Staircase Design

Our design service is where your dream staircase begins to take shape. We know that creating the perfect staircase involves balancing practical considerations with aesthetic aspirations, which is why we place such emphasis on getting the design process right.

We begin by listening. What style do you admire? How do you use your space? What features of your home do you want your staircase to complement? Through understanding your vision, space constraints, and functional requirements, we can create a staircase design that works harmoniously with your home while reflecting your personal taste.

Our designers are experts at maximising the potential of your space. Whether you're working with a generous hallway or a compact corner, we'll suggest creative solutions that make the most of what you have. We'll consider factors like natural light, sight lines through your home, and how the staircase interacts with surrounding features to create a design that enhances your entire living environment.

Our Design Process:

Initial Consultation: We'll visit your property to take precise measurements, assess the space and discuss your ideas, requirements and budget. This face-to-face meeting helps us understand not just your home, but your lifestyle and what you want to achieve with your new staircase.
Concept Development: Based on our consultation, our designers will create detailed sketches and 3D visualisations so you can see exactly how your new staircase will look in situ. We'll present several options that meet your brief, explaining the benefits and features of each approach.
Material Selection: We'll guide you through choosing the perfect materials for your project. From the rich warmth of walnut to the clean brightness of ash, from traditional turned spindles to contemporary glass panels – we'll help you select combinations that create the look you want while meeting practical requirements.
Finalisation: Once you're completely happy with the design, we'll finalise all details and provide you with a comprehensive specification document. This ensures everyone is clear about exactly what will be created before our craftsmen begin work in our Nottingham workshop.

"The staircase designers at Nottingham Joinery took our vague ideas that we sketched on a piece of paper and transformed them into a stunning oak staircase that has become the focal point of our home. They suggested details we'd never have thought of ourselves, and their attention to the small details was impressive from start to finish." – Sandra & Peter T., The Park, Nottingham, NG7

Staircase Renovation

Not every staircase project requires a complete replacement. If your existing staircase has good bones but is looking tired or dated, our renovation service could be the perfect solution. A thoughtful renovation can transform the look and feel of your staircase while being more cost-effective and less disruptive than a full replacement.

Our renovation experts will assess your existing staircase to determine what can be kept, what should be replaced, and what opportunities exist to enhance both appearance and functionality. Often, elements like the main structural components can be retained while visible parts like spindles, handrails and treads are updated for a completely fresh look.

Renovation is also a brilliant option for period properties where preserving the original character is important. We have extensive experience working with heritage staircases in Nottingham's conservation areas, carefully balancing modern safety requirements with sympathetic restoration techniques.

Renovation Options:
Aesthetic Upgrades

Replacement of spindles, balusters, and handrails: Swapping these visible elements can completely transform the look of your staircase. Go from ornate traditional spindles to sleek contemporary designs, or replace a chunky handrail with something more elegant and tactile.
New newel posts and caps: As the anchoring points of your staircase, newel posts make a significant visual statement. Updating these focal points can elevate the entire appearance of your staircase.
Tread cladding and riser replacement: Covering existing treads with new material or replacing risers can hide years of wear and tear. Options range from matching timber overlays to contemporary alternatives like glass risers for a floating effect.
Custom finishing and staining: Sometimes all that's needed is a refresh of the finish. Our expert finishers can strip back old varnish or paint, repair minor damage, and apply new finishes in your choice of colours and sheens to breathe new life into tired timber.

Structural Improvements

Reinforcement of wobbly structures: Nothing undermines confidence like a staircase that feels unstable. We can discreetly reinforce key structural points to eliminate movement and creaks without changing the appearance of your staircase.
Replacement of worn or damaged components: Years of use can take their toll, especially on high-traffic areas like treads. We can carefully replace damaged sections to match existing materials, ensuring seamless integration with original features.
Modification to improve access or flow: Sometimes small changes can make a big difference to how a staircase functions. Adjusting the angle of a handrail, modifying the bottom step, or reconfiguring a landing can greatly improve usability while maintaining overall character.

"Our Victorian staircase had seen better days, but Nottingham Joinery restored it beautifully, preserving its character while making it safe and sturdy. They matched the original newel caps perfectly and even managed to source period-appropriate replacements for the few spindles that were absolutely beyond repair. The craftsmanship is outstanding and we are more than happy with the final result." – Jason M., Mapperley, Nottingham, NG3.

Staircase Installation

Creating a beautiful staircase in our workshop is only half the story – expert installation is equally important to ensure your staircase performs perfectly for decades to come. Our dedicated installation team brings the same attention to detail to fitting your staircase as our craftsmen bring to making it.

We understand that having work done in your home can be disruptive, which is why we plan the installation process meticulously to minimise inconvenience. Wherever possible, we'll prepare components in advance at our workshop, reducing the amount of cutting, sanding and finishing needed in your home.

Safety is our absolute priority during installation. Our team is fully trained in working at height and handling heavy materials, and we implement comprehensive protection measures to safeguard your property during the process. From covering floors and furniture to creating dust barriers, we'll ensure your home is respected throughout.
Installation Process:

Preparation: Before your installation date, we'll discuss logistics with you, including any temporary access arrangements needed while work is underway. On the day, we'll carefully remove your existing staircase if necessary, taking care to minimise mess and disruption to the rest of your home.
Assembly: Your precision-crafted staircase components are brought to site and assembled with exacting attention to detail. Our experienced installers understand that millimetre-perfect alignment is essential for both appearance and structural integrity.
Fitting: The staircase is securely fitted to your home's structure using appropriate fixings and techniques. This is where our experience really counts – we know exactly how to integrate your new staircase with different building types, from traditional brick and timber to modern stud construction.
Finishing: With the staircase securely in place, we apply final adjustments and finishing touches. This includes everything from fine-tuning handrail heights to applying the last coats of protective finish in situ for a flawless result.
Inspection: Before we consider the job complete, we conduct a thorough safety check and quality inspection. Every joint, fixing and finish is examined to ensure everything meets our exacting standards and complies with all relevant building regulations.

"The installation team from Nottingham Joinery were professional, tidy, and completed the job ahead of schedule. They took great care to protect the other areas of our home during the process. They dealt with some unexpected issues without fuss, and the finished staircase is perfectly presented and matches our home . We barely knew they were here, apart from the new staircase they left behind!" – David & Michael L., West Bridgford, Nottingham. NG2

Staircase Styles and Options

Contemporary Staircases

Modern homes call for staircases that blend clean architectural lines with innovative use of materials. Our contemporary designs focus on creating a sense of light and space, often featuring minimalist details that make a subtle yet powerful design statement.

Contemporary staircases typically showcase materials like glass, metal, and light-coloured woods arranged in crisp, geometric forms. We might suggest floating treads that appear to hover in space, glass balustrades that virtually disappear, or clever combinations of timber and metal that play with contrast and texture.

These designs work beautifully in Nottingham's newer developments, like the riverside apartments at Trent Basin or the eco-homes at Green Street in The Meadows. They're equally effective when creating a modern intervention within a more traditional property, where the contrast between old and new can be particularly striking.

Traditional Staircases

Nottingham's architectural heritage is rich with period properties that deserve staircases in keeping with their character. Our traditional designs celebrate classic craftsmanship through ornate details, substantial proportions and the warm richness of timber.

Typical features of our traditional staircases include turned balusters or spindles, carved newel caps, volutes (curved handrail ends), and substantial string boards with decorative mouldings. We pay particular attention to authenticity, researching period details to ensure historically appropriate styling.

These staircases are perfect for Nottingham's Victorian and Edwardian homes in areas like The Park, Mapperley Park and Lenton Boulevard. We've helped many homeowners restore or replace staircases in these conservation areas, working closely with planning authorities where necessary to meet heritage requirements.

Spiral Staircases

When space is at a premium or you're looking to make a dramatic architectural statement, spiral staircases offer a compelling solution. These compact marvels pack a lot of vertical circulation into a minimal footprint, making them ideal for tight corners or small rooms.

Our spiral designs range from traditional cast iron creations with decorative treads to sleek contemporary versions combining timber, steel and glass. The central column provides structural support, while carefully calculated tread shapes ensure comfortable ascent and descent despite the compact dimensions.

We've installed spiral staircases in many Nottingham loft conversions, particularly in the tighter spaces of terraced houses in Sneinton and Forest Fields. They're also popular as feature staircases in the duplex apartments of Nottingham's converted industrial buildings like the Lace Market.

Floating Staircases

For the ultimate in architectural drama, floating staircases create a breathtaking sense of lightness and space. These engineering marvels appear to defy gravity, with treads that project from walls with minimal visible support.

Creating a successful floating staircase requires exceptional precision in both design and installation. Hidden steel structures are often embedded in walls to provide the necessary strength, while careful calculation ensures the staircase meets all safety requirements despite its seemingly precarious appearance.

These show stopping staircases have become increasingly popular in Nottingham's high-end residential projects, particularly in the architect-designed homes of Beeston's creative quarter and the luxury apartments overlooking Nottingham Castle.

Materials We Work With

The materials you choose for your staircase dramatically influence both its appearance and performance. We work with a wide range of quality materials, helping you select the perfect combination for your project:

Oak: Perhaps the most versatile and popular timber for staircases, oak offers excellent durability combined with a beautiful grain pattern that works in both traditional and contemporary settings. Its warm honey tones mature gracefully over time, and it accepts a wide range of finishes from natural oils to coloured stains.
Walnut: With its rich chocolate tones and sophisticated grain patterns, walnut creates a staircase of genuine luxury and presence. Slightly softer than oak but still very durable, walnut is particularly striking when used in contemporary designs with clean, architectural lines.
Ash: If you're looking for a lighter appearance without compromising on strength, ash is an excellent choice. Its pale colour brightens spaces and its pronounced grain adds subtle texture. Ash is particularly effective in Scandinavian-inspired interiors and works beautifully alongside other pale finishes.
Pine: A more budget-friendly option that doesn't skimp on character, pine brings warmth and a distinctive grain pattern to your staircase. While softer than hardwoods, properly finished pine can still offer good durability, making it especially suitable for renovations where cost-effectiveness is important.
Glass: Toughened glass panels bring light and a sense of spaciousness to staircases. Whether used as balustrades or even as structural elements in the most contemporary designs, glass creates a sense of architectural openness while still meeting safety requirements.
Metal: From the industrial chic of blackened steel to the refined elegance of brushed brass, metals add another dimension to staircase design. We use metals for spindles, handrails, structural elements and decorative details, often combining them with timber to create interesting material contrasts.

Staircase Projects in Nottingham

Case Study: Victorian Terrace Restoration, Lenton, NG7
When the Thompsons purchased their three-storey Victorian terrace on Derby Road, they faced a common dilemma: how to restore the home's period character while creating a living space suitable for a modern family. The original staircase had suffered years of neglect, with several spindles missing, a wobbly handrail, and treads that creaked alarmingly with every step.

Rather than ripping out this characterful feature, we proposed a sympathetic restoration that would preserve the staircase's Victorian proportions while ensuring modern safety and stability. Our team carefully dismantled the balustrade, salvaging and restoring every original component possible. Where spindles were beyond repair, we turned exact replicas using traditional techniques.

The structural elements were reinforced from beneath, eliminating movement without changing the staircase's appearance. Original treads were carefully cleaned of decades of paint and varnish, revealing the beautiful pitch pine underneath, which we then finished with a hard wearing clear oil to protect while showcasing the timber's natural warmth.

The result perfectly balances period authenticity with contemporary performance – a staircase that looks entirely appropriate to its Victorian setting but offers the safety and stability a family home demands.

Case Study: Contemporary New Build, Edwalton, NG12
For this architect-designed home in Edwalton's new Woodview development, the owners wanted a staircase that would serve as an architectural centrepiece in their open-plan entrance hall. Working closely with both the clients and their architect, we designed a floating staircase in European oak and toughened glass that creates a stunning first impression.

The engineering challenges were considerable, requiring close collaboration with structural engineers to create a staircase that appears to float while comfortably exceeding all safety requirements. Each solid oak tread is invisibly supported by a concealed steel structure within the adjacent wall, while frameless glass balustrades maintain the open feel while providing essential safety.

Lighting was integrated beneath each tread, creating a gentle wash of light that adds drama after dark and improves safety. The oak handrail was shaped for perfect ergonomics, ensuring comfortable use despite the minimal aesthetic.

Completed just six weeks after final approval of the design, this staircase demonstrates how technical expertise and craftsmanship can come together to create functional art that enhances architectural space.

Case Study: Loft Conversion, Sherwood, NG5
When the Patels decided to convert their loft in Sherwood to create an additional bedroom and ensuite, access posed a significant challenge. The property's footprint didn't easily accommodate a conventional staircase, and planning restrictions limited external alterations.

Our solution was a space-efficient spiral staircase, custom-designed to make the most of a previously underutilised corner of their first-floor landing. Using a combination of oak treads and a powder-coated steel central column, we created a staircase that occupies just one square metre of floor space while providing comfortable access to the new loft room.

Despite its compact dimensions, careful design ensures the staircase meets all building regulations for loft access, with tread dimensions calculated to provide safe footing and a continuous handrail offering security at all points.

The finished staircase not only provides practical access but has become a design feature in its own right, its sculptural form adding character to both the landing and the new loft space it serves.

The Staircase Design and Installation Process

Initial Enquiry and Consultation

Getting your staircase project started is as simple as picking up the phone or sending us an email. We'll have a friendly initial chat about your ideas, timescales and budget to get a feel for what you're looking for. There's no obligation at this stage – we're just getting to know each other and understanding the basics of your project.

Following this initial conversation, we'll arrange for one of our staircase specialists to visit your home at a time that works for you. This free consultation is where we start to get into the details. We'll measure your space, discuss your style preferences, and start exploring options that might work for your home and budget.

During this visit, we'll also identify any potential challenges or special requirements, such as working in a period property or accommodating unusual architectural features. Feel free to show us inspiration photos or discuss ideas you've been considering – this helps us understand your vision.

Design and Quotation

Based on our consultation, our design team will develop detailed concepts for your staircase. For simpler projects, this might involve sketches and material samples. For more complex designs, we can produce 3D visualisations that show exactly how your staircase will look in your space.

Along with the design concepts, we'll provide a comprehensive quotation breaking down all costs involved. We believe in complete transparency, so you'll see exactly what you're paying for – from materials and manufacturing to installation and finishing. We'll also give you an estimated timeline for the project.

We encourage questions and refinements at this stage. If you'd like to explore alternative materials or design features, we're happy to revise the designs and quotation accordingly. Our goal is to arrive at a solution that perfectly balances your aesthetic aspirations, practical requirements and budget constraints.

Material Selection and Preparation

Once you're happy with the design and quotation, we'll ask for a deposit to secure your project in our workshop schedule. Our first step is then to source the perfect materials for your staircase. For timber elements, this means selecting specific boards for their grain pattern, colour consistency and structural properties.

We're committed to responsible sourcing, so all our timber comes from suppliers who can demonstrate proper chain of custody and sustainable forestry practices. If you've chosen other materials like glass or metals, we'll order these to specification from our trusted suppliers.

With materials in our workshop, our craftsmen begin the meticulous process of creating your staircase components. Each piece is cut, shaped and finished with exceptional attention to detail, using a combination of traditional hand craftsmanship and precision machinery. Throughout this process, we'll keep you updated on progress and may invite you to the workshop to see your staircase taking shape.

Installation Scheduling

As your staircase nears completion in our workshop, we'll contact you to schedule the installation. We understand the importance of minimising disruption to your home life, so we'll work around your schedule as much as possible.

For projects involving the replacement of an existing staircase, we'll discuss temporary access arrangements with you. This might mean installing a temporary staircase or organising your home so you can manage with limited access between floors for a short period.

We'll also explain what to expect during the installation process, including approximately how long it will take, what preparations we recommend, and any special requirements like clearing the area or ensuring good access for our team and materials.

Professional Staircase Installation

On the scheduled day, our installation team will arrive promptly and begin by protecting your home. Floor coverings, dust sheets and, where necessary, temporary partition walls ensure that dust and disruption are contained to the immediate work area.

If we're removing an existing staircase, this is done with care to minimise mess and damage to surrounding areas. Our team works methodically, bringing in the new components only when the space is properly prepared.

The installation itself is carried out with the same attention to detail that characterises our workshop craftsmanship. Each component is checked for perfect fit before being permanently secured, and our installers make fine adjustments as needed to ensure everything aligns perfectly.

Throughout the process, our team will clean as they go and are always happy to answer any questions you might have about what they're doing.

Final Inspection and Handover To The Customer

Once installation is complete, our project manager will conduct a thorough inspection with you. We'll check every aspect of the staircase, from structural integrity to the quality of finishes, ensuring everything meets our exacting standards.

This is also when we'll explain any maintenance recommendations for your specific staircase materials and answer any questions you have about caring for your new feature. If you notice anything that doesn't quite meet your expectations, now is the time to point it out – we won't consider the job complete until you're completely satisfied.

Finally, we'll provide you with any relevant documentation, including your guarantee certificate, care instructions, and, where applicable, certification that your staircase meets building regulations.

Staircase Regulations and Safety

Creating a beautiful staircase is only half the story – ensuring it meets all safety requirements is equally important. At Nottingham Joinery, we take our responsibility for your safety seriously, designing and building staircases that comply with all current UK building regulations.

These regulations cover various aspects of staircase design, including:

Appropriate step height and depth: Steps must have a rise (vertical height) of no more than 220mm and a going (tread depth) of at least 220mm to ensure comfortable and safe use. We carefully calculate these dimensions to suit your space while meeting regulations.
Sufficient headroom: Regulations require a minimum headroom of 2m throughout the staircase. In complex situations like loft conversions where space is tight, we can design solutions that maximise headroom while still meeting requirements.
Correct balustrade height: Any drop of more than 600mm must be protected by a balustrade at least 900mm high. For staircases in homes with young children, we often recommend exceeding this minimum height for added peace of mind.
Suitable handrail dimensions: Handrails must be positioned between 900mm and 1000mm from the pitch line of the stairs and be shaped for a comfortable grip. We design handrails that not only meet these technical requirements but also complement your staircase aesthetically.
Proper structural support: Every staircase must be capable of supporting a minimum load as specified in the regulations. Our engineering expertise ensures your staircase exceeds these structural requirements while maintaining its design integrity.

Our knowledge of local Nottingham building control requirements ensures a smooth approval process for your project. When necessary, we liaise directly with building control officers to obtain the required approvals, handling the paperwork so you don't have to.

Maintaining Your Staircase

A well-crafted staircase is an investment that, with proper care, will serve your home beautifully for decades. The specific maintenance requirements will depend on the materials and finishes of your staircase, but here are some general guidelines:

Regular Maintenance Tips

Clean wooden staircases with appropriate wood cleaners: Avoid generic household cleaners which can damage finishes. Instead, use products specifically formulated for the type of finish on your staircase, whether that's oil, varnish, or lacquer. A slightly damp microfibre cloth followed by a dry one is often all that's needed for routine cleaning.
Tighten any loose fixings promptly: Staircases experience constant movement and vibration, which can gradually loosen fixings over time. Make a habit of checking balustrades, handrails and treads occasionally, and tighten any loose screws or bolts you find. This prevents minor issues from developing into larger problems.
Treat wooden surfaces with recommended products annually: Depending on the finish, your staircase may benefit from periodic refreshing with oils, waxes or conditioning products. We'll provide specific recommendations for your staircase, but generally, an annual treatment helps maintain the lustre and protection of timber elements.
Check balustrades regularly for stability: Give your balustrades a gentle shake periodically to check for any movement. This is particularly important in households with children or elderly residents, where balustrade stability is a crucial safety feature.

Long-term Care
Beyond these regular maintenance tasks, different staircase materials have specific long-term care requirements:

For solid timber staircases, be mindful of environmental factors. Try to maintain consistent humidity levels in your home, as extreme fluctuations can cause timber to expand and contract excessively. Position staircases away from direct sunlight where possible, or use window treatments to prevent UV damage and fading.

Glass elements should be cleaned with appropriate glass cleaners that don't contain ammonia or harsh chemicals that might affect neighbouring materials or mountings. Always spray cleaner onto your cloth rather than directly onto the glass to prevent liquid seeping into joints.

Metal components like spindles or structural elements may occasionally need touch-ups to their protective finishes, especially in areas of high wear or moisture. We can advise on suitable products for your specific metals and finishes.

When we hand over your completed staircase, we'll provide comprehensive care instructions tailored to your specific materials and finishes, ensuring you have all the information needed to keep your staircase looking its best.

Why Staircases Matter in Nottingham Homes

In Nottingham's diverse housing stock—from Victorian terraces to modern apartments—the staircase often forms the heart of the home. It's not just a functional element but a defining architectural feature that influences how your space feels and flows.

A well-designed staircase can transform a cramped entrance into a light-filled welcome, turn an overlooked corner into a striking focal point, or add valuable living space through clever integration with storage or study areas. Our understanding of Nottingham's typical housing layouts helps us create staircases that enhance your property's specific character.
Beyond aesthetics, your staircase affects daily life in countless ways:

Creates a striking first impression: As often the first feature visitors see when entering your home, your staircase sets expectations for the rest of your interior.
Influences the flow and feel of your living space: The position, style and openness of your staircase dramatically affects how people move through and experience your home.
Affects natural light distribution: Open-tread or glass-balustrade staircases can allow light to flow between levels, brightening otherwise dark areas of Nottingham's often narrow terraced homes.
Impacts your home's value: Estate agents confirm that a beautiful, well-crafted staircase can significantly enhance property values, particularly in Nottingham's competitive housing market where distinctive features help properties stand out.

Our understanding of Nottingham's architectural heritage helps us create staircases that enhance your property's character while meeting modern living needs. Whether we're restoring a heritage feature in a Lace Market conversion or installing a contemporary statement in a new Gamston development, we approach each project with sensitivity to both architectural context and personal requirements.
