Stair & Landing Herringbone & Parquet Flooring in Theydon Bois, CM16
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 Theydon Bois 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 Theydon Bois (CM16) projects
Every stair cladding job we quote in Theydon Bois 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 CM16
In conservation cottage 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 Theydon Bois — questions
- How much for a full carpet-out, wood-in staircase in Theydon Bois?
- A typical 13-tread Theydon Bois 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 Theydon Bois?
- 3–5 working days for a straight run of 13 treads in Theydon Bois; 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 Theydon Bois?
- 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 Theydon Bois?
- 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 Theydon Bois homes.
- Can I clad over existing stairs in Theydon Bois, or do they need lifting?
- In 90% of Theydon Bois 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 Theydon Bois spec. Riser prep and re-paint is quoted as part of the scope.

Stair cladding in Theydon Bois is a detail-work job, not a board-lay. Templating, matched nose, painted risers and grip finish are the difference between 'joinery' and 'floor fitter'.
