Solid Wood Flooring for Stairs & Landings in Scaynes Hill
In Scaynes Hill (RH17) 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 conservation cottage straight run takes 3 days, a Victorian dogleg with half-turns takes closer to a week.

Batch-matched stair cladding on Scaynes Hill 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 Scaynes Hill — questions
- Do you handle spindles and handrails on Scaynes 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 Scaynes Hill?
- £55–£85 per tread for standard straight runs in Scaynes 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 Scaynes Hill handover.
- How noisy are wooden stairs vs carpet in Scaynes 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.

- A typical 13-tread Scaynes 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 Scaynes Hill?
- 3–5 working days for a straight run of 13 treads in Scaynes Hill; 6–8 days for a dogleg with a half-landing or winders. Stairs are usable each evening after the day's work cures.
