Engineered Wood Flooring for Stairs & Landings in Norbiton
In Norbiton (KT2) most stair jobs we quote are 'carpet-out, wood-in'. That's a full renovation of the staircase — treads, risers, strings, spindles, newel caps. Some are quicker than others; a modern victorian villa straight run takes 3 days, a Victorian dogleg with half-turns takes closer to a week.

Stair cladding scope on Norbiton (KT2) projects

Grip and safety on Norbiton wooden stairs
Where Norbiton clients specifically want a lacquered stair (for shine or matched to a lacquered hallway), we spec Bona Traffic Anti-Slip — same coating, added grip technology, meets DIN 51130 R10.

Getting the hallway-to-stairs match right in KT2
In victorian villa homes with a natural break between hallway and stair (a solid threshold, a paint-line change), we can mix batches — but only if the transition is deliberate. Never on an open sight-line.
Stairs & Landings in Norbiton — questions
- Can I clad over existing stairs in Norbiton, or do they need lifting?
- In 90% of Norbiton 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 Norbiton spec. Riser prep and re-paint is quoted as part of the scope.
- Do you handle spindles and handrails on Norbiton 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).
- How much does stair cladding cost per tread in Norbiton?
- £55–£85 per tread for standard straight runs in Norbiton, £70–£110 for winders and dog-leg stairs with half-landings. Includes tread, riser prep, stair nose match and grip-finish top coat.
- Are wooden stairs slippery in socks?
- Only on a glossy lacquer. Our default matte finish + optional grip-strip stair nose reads and behaves safe underfoot. We test underfoot on every Norbiton handover.
- How noisy are wooden stairs vs carpet in Norbiton?
- Wooden stairs are louder than carpet — that's physics. We fit an acoustic layer under every riser to reduce hollow-drum resonance, but expect a firmer, more audible tread than carpet.
