Stair & Landing Solid Wood Flooring in Romford Town, RM1
Stairs are the technical test in any flooring job. Every tread has a rise, a going and a nose profile — get any dimension wrong and the run isn't Building Regs compliant. On Romford Town stair jobs we template every tread individually (they're rarely identical, even in a new build), match the stair nose to the hallway board batch, and use a grip-tested top coat on every stair.
What a proper stair cladding job includes in Romford Town
The line items other quotes leave out — riser prep, string capping, newel post joint, half-landing transition — are usually 25–30% of the labour. Ask for them itemised. On Romford Town jobs we itemise them by default.

Batch-matched stair cladding on Romford Town 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 Romford Town — questions
- Can I clad over existing stairs in Romford Town, or do they need lifting?
- In 90% of Romford Town 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 Romford Town spec. Riser prep and re-paint is quoted as part of the scope.
- Do you handle spindles and handrails on Romford Town 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 Romford Town?
- £55–£85 per tread for standard straight runs in Romford Town, £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 Romford Town handover.
- How noisy are wooden stairs vs carpet in Romford Town?
- 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.
