Staircase cladding
Refresh your existing stairs with made-to-measure oak cladding, considered edge details and a neat landing transition.
Advice from our Rickmansworth team.
Clad your existing stairs.
When the structure is sound but the surface looks worn, painted or dated, cladding can refresh your staircase without replacing the whole flight.
The right result depends on more than the timber colour. Tread dimensions, riser heights, nosings and the landing all need to be considered together.
Treads, risers and nosings.
A tread is the surface you step on; the riser is the vertical face below it. The nosing forms the front edge. Their proportions and junctions should look coherent across the whole flight.
We plan these details together, including the edges, exposed sides and connection to the landing.
Built around everyday use.
Cladding adds material to an existing staircase. Step heights, secure bonding, edge details and the transition at the top and bottom need to be checked as part of the installation plan.
Discuss the finish texture and its care requirements too, so you know what to expect once the staircase is in use.
Advice before you start.
Compare grain and finishes in your own light, and bring photographs of your staircase and adjoining floor. We can discuss measurements, stair condition, edging and maintenance before the work is planned.
- Photograph the full flight, turns and landing.
- Note the number of steps and current covering.
- Tell us your postcode and preferred finish.
Before you decide.
A few practical questions to help you plan the next step.
Can my existing staircase be clad?
Cladding may be an option when the underlying staircase is sound. Ask us to assess its condition, dimensions and existing covering before deciding what work is needed.
Can the stairs work with my flooring?
Bring details of your flooring and preferred finish. We can discuss the grain, colour, nosing profile and landing transition, rather than assuming two different timber products will be an exact match.
What should I send with my enquiry?
Include your postcode, the number of steps and any approximate measurements you have. Mention turns, winders and the current stair covering. We can then confirm how to share photographs of the staircase and landing. Final dimensions and the installation approach need to be checked before work begins.
Can I compare finishes in person?
Contact our Rickmansworth team to arrange a showroom visit and confirm which finishes or samples are available to view.
