Solid Wood Flooring for Stairs & Landings in Biggin Hill
In Biggin Hill (TN16) 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 1930s semi straight run takes 3 days, a Victorian dogleg with half-turns takes closer to a week.

The full scope of a Biggin Hill stair Solid Wood Flooring install
For 1930s semi Biggin Hill homes we also check the sub-tread condition. Victorian and 1930s stairs sometimes have decayed sub-treads that need lifting and replacing before the new cladding goes on — priced separately, always quoted before it happens.

A glossy lacquer on a wooden stair is a hospital claim waiting to happen. Every stair we fit in Biggin Hill gets a matte-finish grip-tested top coat, or a stair-nose insert with a low-profile anti-slip strip.

Stairs & Landings in Biggin Hill — questions
- Do you handle spindles and handrails on Biggin Hill 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 Biggin Hill?
- £55–£85 per tread for standard straight runs in Biggin Hill, £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 Biggin Hill handover.
- How noisy are wooden stairs vs carpet in Biggin Hill?
- 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.
- How much for a full carpet-out, wood-in staircase in Biggin Hill?
- A typical 13-tread Biggin Hill 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 Biggin Hill?
- 3–5 working days for a straight run of 13 treads in Biggin Hill; 6–8 days for a dogleg with a half-landing or winders. Stairs are usable each evening after the day's work cures.
