What this work involves
Measure the existing geometry, floor-to-floor height, headroom and supports before fixing the design.
- New staircase or covering
- Handrails and balustrades
- Materials, grip and maintenance
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Assess natural surfaces for touch, cleaning and colour variation as well.
What the drawing needs to explain
Detail the lower edge and the junction with another material. Show where water can drain and how an element can be replaced without opening the entire finish.
How to review the result
Assess variation against the agreed sample and product information. Distinguish natural differences from damage or an incorrectly executed junction.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on stair geometry, bespoke work, materials and reinstatement. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs of the existing situation, available drawings and your requirements for stairs, stair renovation & balustrades. Identify the elements that should remain.
Questions about the work
What should I discuss before arranging stairs, stair renovation & balustrades?
Coverings change tread dimensions and connections. Renovation still requires assessment of usability, safety and floor transitions.
The design situations here illustrate choices; they are not completed projects or a diagnosis of your property.
