Stair & Landing Engineered Wood Flooring in Brighton Central, BN1
Stairs are the technical test in any flooring job. Every tread has a rise, a going and a nose profile — get any dimension wrong and the run isn't Building Regs compliant. On Brighton Central stair jobs we template every tread individually (they're rarely identical, even in a new build), match the stair nose to the hallway board batch, and use a grip-tested top coat on every stair.
The full scope of a Brighton Central stair Engineered Wood Flooring install
For regency townhouse Brighton Central homes we also check the sub-tread condition. Victorian and 1930s stairs sometimes have decayed sub-treads that need lifting and replacing before the new cladding goes on — priced separately, always quoted before it happens.

Stairs & Landings in Brighton Central — questions
- How much for a full carpet-out, wood-in staircase in Brighton Central?
- A typical 13-tread Brighton Central straight staircase with matched hallway floor, painted risers, matte grip finish: £2,200–£3,600 all in. Doglegs and half-landings add £400–£900.
- How long does a full stair cladding take in Brighton Central?
- 3–5 working days for a straight run of 13 treads in Brighton Central; 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 Brighton Central?
- 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 Brighton Central?
- 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 regency townhouse Brighton Central homes.
- Can I clad over existing stairs in Brighton Central, or do they need lifting?
- In 90% of Brighton Central 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 Brighton Central spec. Riser prep and re-paint is quoted as part of the scope.
