Stair & Landing Herringbone & Parquet Flooring in Jersey Farm, AL4
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 Jersey Farm 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.
Stair cladding scope on Jersey Farm (AL4) projects
Every stair cladding job we quote in Jersey Farm includes: templating each tread individually, matched stair nose from the same board batch as the hallway, painted riser prep, string capping, newel-post detailing, matched threshold to the landing floor, and a grip-tested top coat.

Getting the hallway-to-stairs match right in AL4
In new build 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 Jersey Farm — questions
- Can I clad over existing stairs in Jersey Farm, or do they need lifting?
- In 90% of Jersey Farm 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 Jersey Farm spec. Riser prep and re-paint is quoted as part of the scope.
- Do you handle spindles and handrails on Jersey Farm 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 Jersey Farm?
- £55–£85 per tread for standard straight runs in Jersey Farm, £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 Jersey Farm handover.
- How noisy are wooden stairs vs carpet in Jersey Farm?
- 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.
