Solid Wood Flooring for Stairs & Landings in Moulsham
In Moulsham (CM2) 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 victorian villa straight run takes 3 days, a Victorian dogleg with half-turns takes closer to a week.

Getting the hallway-to-stairs match right in CM2
In victorian villa 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 Moulsham — questions
- 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 Moulsham handover.
- How noisy are wooden stairs vs carpet in Moulsham?
- 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 Moulsham?
- A typical 13-tread Moulsham 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 Moulsham?
- 3–5 working days for a straight run of 13 treads in Moulsham; 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 Moulsham?
- 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 Moulsham?
- 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 victorian villa Moulsham homes.
