Solid Wood Flooring for Stairs & Landings in Canbury
In Canbury (KT2) 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 edwardian terrace straight run takes 3 days, a Victorian dogleg with half-turns takes closer to a week.
Why Canbury clients book us for stairs & landings

The full scope of a Canbury stair Solid Wood Flooring install
For edwardian terrace Canbury 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.
Grip-tested finish for Canbury staircases
A glossy lacquer on a wooden stair is a hospital claim waiting to happen. Every stair we fit in Canbury gets a matte-finish grip-tested top coat, or a stair-nose insert with a low-profile anti-slip strip.

Stairs & Landings in Canbury — questions
- How much for a full carpet-out, wood-in staircase in Canbury?
- A typical 13-tread Canbury 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 Canbury?
- 3–5 working days for a straight run of 13 treads in Canbury; 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 Canbury?
- 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 Canbury?
- 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 edwardian terrace Canbury homes.
- Can I clad over existing stairs in Canbury, or do they need lifting?
- In 90% of Canbury 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 Canbury spec. Riser prep and re-paint is quoted as part of the scope.
