Solid Wood Flooring for Stairs & Landings in Hornchurch
In Hornchurch (RM11) 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.

Getting the hallway-to-stairs match right in RM11

Stairs & Landings in Hornchurch — questions
- How much for a full carpet-out, wood-in staircase in Hornchurch?
- A typical 13-tread Hornchurch 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 Hornchurch?
- 3–5 working days for a straight run of 13 treads in Hornchurch; 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 Hornchurch?
- 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 Hornchurch?
- 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 1930s semi Hornchurch homes.
- Can I clad over existing stairs in Hornchurch, or do they need lifting?
- In 90% of Hornchurch 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 Hornchurch spec. Riser prep and re-paint is quoted as part of the scope.
