Solid Wood Flooring for Stairs & Landings in Bromley Central
In Bromley Central (BR1) 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 apartment straight run takes 3 days, a Victorian dogleg with half-turns takes closer to a week.

Batch-matched stair cladding on Bromley Central projects
Stair nose, tread top and hallway boards should all come from the same manufacturing batch. Ordering them separately (or at different times) means colour and grain match becomes 'close, not exact' — always visible under the stair light.
Stairs & Landings in Bromley Central — questions
- How much for a full carpet-out, wood-in staircase in Bromley Central?
- A typical 13-tread Bromley Central 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 Bromley Central?
- 3–5 working days for a straight run of 13 treads in Bromley Central; 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 Bromley Central?
- 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 Bromley Central?
- 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 apartment Bromley Central homes.
- Can I clad over existing stairs in Bromley Central, or do they need lifting?
- In 90% of Bromley Central 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 Bromley Central spec. Riser prep and re-paint is quoted as part of the scope.
