Beaulieu Park Staircase Flooring — Solid Wood Flooring Specialists
A Beaulieu Park staircase in Solid Wood Flooring is a two-week detail job, not a two-day board-lay. On new build homes the risers rot at the back, the strings need re-fixing, and the newel post carpet joints need cutting properly. We quote all of it on the survey — you shouldn't be adding line items on the fit day.
Stair cladding scope on Beaulieu Park (CM1) projects
Every stair cladding job we quote in Beaulieu Park 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.
Grip and safety on Beaulieu Park wooden stairs
Where Beaulieu Park 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 CM1
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 Beaulieu Park — questions
- Can I have a herringbone stair in Beaulieu Park?
- 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 new build Beaulieu Park homes.
- Can I clad over existing stairs in Beaulieu Park, or do they need lifting?
- In 90% of Beaulieu Park 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 Beaulieu Park spec. Riser prep and re-paint is quoted as part of the scope.
- Do you handle spindles and handrails on Beaulieu Park 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 Beaulieu Park?
- £55–£85 per tread for standard straight runs in Beaulieu Park, £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 Beaulieu Park handover.
