Deciding when a staircase upgrade is due can be tricky. An important factor to consider is that everyone in your home uses it multiple times daily, directly contributing to how your home is experienced.
As the nation's leading renovators, we recommend a staircase upgrade when:
Yes, you can. While our team is more than happy to address minor structural issues they find while performing your renovation, they will largely focus on renovating the visible parts of your stairs, not the hidden substructure or support. This allows First Step Designs to breathe new life into old and tired stairs without the hassle and costs of a full replacement.
Choosing the right renovation design and finish can be a daunting task. With so many options available, our design team works collaboratively with our clients to consistently ensure staircase reimaginings that inspire. To get the ball rolling, we encourage our clients to visit our inspiration gallery and identify styles and elements they like. Using these elements, we craft detailed 3D drawings, iterating through improvement after improvement until we have the perfect renovation design—one that creates a striking focal point, complements your home, and boosts your property value.
As the leading staircase company in the UK, we're confident that we can help you achieve the staircase of your dreams.
Again, depending on the scope of the renovation project and the number of custom-manufactured parts required, we typically complete most renovation projects in as few as 4 weeks, going up to 8 to 10 weeks for larger projects.
The actual work in your home is typically completed over 2 or 3 days; however, small renovation projects may be completed within a single day.
At First Step Designs, we typically charge between £4,000 + VAT and £9,000 + VAT for a full staircase renovation. Factors such as the redesign complexity, material choices, installation difficulty, and overall scope of the project all affect the final costs.
We encourage you to reach out to our team for a tailored quote on your next staircase renovation. For examples of our work, alongside project specifications and pricing, please check out our blog post on How much does a staircase renovation cost?
