Bolnore Village Staircase Flooring — Engineered Wood Flooring Specialists
A Bolnore Village staircase in Engineered Wood Flooring is a two-week detail job, not a two-day board-lay. On new build homes the risers rot at the back, the strings need re-fixing, and the newel post carpet joints need cutting properly. We quote all of it on the survey — you shouldn't be adding line items on the fit day.
What a proper stair cladding job includes in Bolnore Village
The line items other quotes leave out — riser prep, string capping, newel post joint, half-landing transition — are usually 25–30% of the labour. Ask for them itemised. On Bolnore Village jobs we itemise them by default.
Making a Engineered Wood Flooring staircase safe underfoot in Bolnore Village
For new build Bolnore Village homes with young children or older residents we recommend a subtle grip strip on each tread — routed into the nose profile, colour-matched, near-invisible but grippy to bare feet.

Batch-matched stair cladding on Bolnore Village projects
Stair nose, tread top and hallway boards should all come from the same manufacturing batch. Ordering them separately (or at different times) means colour and grain match becomes 'close, not exact' — always visible under the stair light.
Stairs & Landings in Bolnore Village — questions
- How long does a full stair cladding take in Bolnore Village?
- 3–5 working days for a straight run of 13 treads in Bolnore Village; 6–8 days for a dogleg with a half-landing or winders. Stairs are usable each evening after the day's work cures.
- Will the stairs match my hallway floor in Bolnore Village?
- Yes if ordered at the same time. Same-batch stair nose and tread top from the hallway floor supply means a genuine match, not a 'similar' finish.
- Can I have a herringbone stair in Bolnore Village?
- Herringbone parquet on stair treads isn't practical — the pattern breaks at every tread. We fit herringbone on the landings only, with matched plain-board stair treads. Very popular in new build Bolnore Village homes.
- Can I clad over existing stairs in Bolnore Village, or do they need lifting?
- In 90% of Bolnore Village jobs, cladding goes over the existing timber staircase without lifting. We check tread thickness and stability on the survey; only decayed sub-treads or non-compliant rises need replacement.
- Can I keep the painted risers and only wood the treads?
- Yes — the two-tone painted riser / wood tread look is our most-fitted Bolnore Village spec. Riser prep and re-paint is quoted as part of the scope.
- Do you handle spindles and handrails on Bolnore Village stair jobs?
- We handle spindle re-finish and handrail stripping / re-oiling on the same job. Full spindle replacement is quoted separately (typically £320–£680 for a run of 12).
