Solid Wood Flooring for Stairs & Landings in Pound Hill
In Pound Hill (RH10) 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 RH10
In 1930s semi 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 Pound Hill — questions
- Do you handle spindles and handrails on Pound 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 Pound Hill?
- £55–£85 per tread for standard straight runs in Pound 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 Pound Hill handover.
- How noisy are wooden stairs vs carpet in Pound 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 Pound Hill?
- A typical 13-tread Pound 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 Pound Hill?
- 3–5 working days for a straight run of 13 treads in Pound Hill; 6–8 days for a dogleg with a half-landing or winders. Stairs are usable each evening after the day's work cures.
