Stair & Landing Engineered Wood Flooring in Langton Green, TN3
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 Langton Green 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.
What a proper stair cladding job includes in Langton Green
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 Langton Green jobs we itemise them by default.

Batch-matched stair cladding on Langton Green 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 Langton Green — questions
- How much for a full carpet-out, wood-in staircase in Langton Green?
- A typical 13-tread Langton Green 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 Langton Green?
- 3–5 working days for a straight run of 13 treads in Langton Green; 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 Langton Green?
- 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 Langton Green?
- 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 conservation cottage Langton Green homes.
- Can I clad over existing stairs in Langton Green, or do they need lifting?
- In 90% of Langton Green 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 Langton Green spec. Riser prep and re-paint is quoted as part of the scope.
