Three Bridges Staircase Flooring — Solid Wood Flooring Specialists
A Three Bridges staircase in Solid Wood Flooring is a two-week detail job, not a two-day board-lay. On new build homes the risers rot at the back, the strings need re-fixing, and the newel post carpet joints need cutting properly. We quote all of it on the survey — you shouldn't be adding line items on the fit day.
The full scope of a Three Bridges stair Solid Wood Flooring install
For new build Three Bridges homes we also check the sub-tread condition. Victorian and 1930s stairs sometimes have decayed sub-treads that need lifting and replacing before the new cladding goes on — priced separately, always quoted before it happens.
Grip-tested finish for Three Bridges staircases
A glossy lacquer on a wooden stair is a hospital claim waiting to happen. Every stair we fit in Three Bridges gets a matte-finish grip-tested top coat, or a stair-nose insert with a low-profile anti-slip strip.

Stairs & Landings in Three Bridges — questions
- How noisy are wooden stairs vs carpet in Three Bridges?
- 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 Three Bridges?
- A typical 13-tread Three Bridges 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 Three Bridges?
- 3–5 working days for a straight run of 13 treads in Three Bridges; 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 Three Bridges?
- 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 Three Bridges?
- 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 new build Three Bridges homes.
- Can I clad over existing stairs in Three Bridges, or do they need lifting?
- In 90% of Three Bridges 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.
