Bespoke and oak staircases

Bespoke and oak staircases, measured and made to fit the home. New flights, renovations to the one you have, and the joinery around them.

Send a few photos and rough sizes, and we’ll come back with a budget range before anyone visits.

WHAT WE BUILD

Staircases, built to fit.

Galleried landing with white turned spindles and an oak handrail returning around the stairwell.
01
Full replacement

The old staircase out, a new one in its place. Oak, a paint-grade timber, or a mix.

02
Staircase renovations

New handrails, spindles and newel posts on the flight you already have.

Understair storage nook with a fitted oak bench, cubby shelving and boarded panelling to the back wall.
03
Bespoke fittings

Understair storage, drawers and cupboards, built in rather than bought off a shelf.

HOW IT'S MADE

Four steps, start to handover.

01
Measure

A site visit to measure up and understand the space.

02
Make

Cut, jointed and assembled to fit, not flat-packed.

03
Fitted

One company start to finish, floors protected, site left tidy.

04
Sign-off

A walk round together, then handed over ready for decoration so the finish can match the room.

That's how it's made. The estimate, the proposal and the deposit happen either side of it.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Staircases, asked and answered.

Can you renovate my existing staircase?

Yes. We can fit new handrails, spindles and newel posts to the flight you already have, or take the old staircase out and make a new one if it's past renovating. We'll say honestly which makes more sense once we've seen it.

Oak, or a paint-grade timber?

Either, or a mix of the two. Oak where you want the grain on show, a paint-grade timber where it's going to be painted. We'll talk it through when we measure up.

Do you work on older and period homes?

Yes, a lot of the work is. In an older Cheshire home a staircase usually has to follow the original line rather than drop in as a standard kit, whether that's a new flight made to match or new spindles and handrails on the one that's there.

Will it come painted?

No. A staircase always needs small adjustments as it goes in, and those would spoil a finish applied beforehand. So it's fitted ready for decoration and painted in place. We can recommend a decorator, or use your own.

How long does a staircase take?

Typically around two weeks from deposit to fitted. Your written proposal confirms the dates for your job before you pay anything.

What will a staircase cost?

It depends on the design, the timber and whether it's a new flight or a renovation, so there's no single price. Send a few photos and rough measurements and we'll come back with a budget range before anyone visits.

What clients say

  • We are so happy with the work Sam has done for us, it has totally transformed our home. Every project given is finished to an exceptionally high standard. He arrives on time and leaves the place spotless. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend to anyone looking for a high-end finish.

  • We had a load bearing wall removed and our kitchen fully replaced including moving an external door, replacing windows, rewiring and moving plumbing. From the very first time Sam came to look at the job, through the work being done and the final touches the job was fantastic. Sam was honest, reliable, easy to speak to, nothing was too much trouble and the quality of the work completed was outstanding. I cannot fault Ames Carpentry at all and would highly recommend using Sam for any jobs big or small. We have already got him lined up to finish our utility room and a few other bits. We had a brilliant experience and Sam and his team won’t let you down!!

  • Brilliant service from start to finish! He arrived exactly when he said he would, worked quickly and efficiently, and even cleaned everything up afterwards — despite me telling him not to worry and that I’d do it myself! Couldn’t fault the service and would highly recommend him.

  • Sam built a solid wooden fence for me which was about 30 foot in length and 7ft tall. He arranged the delivery of the wood for me early so that I could treat it prior to it being built. The fence was completed and I am absolutely made up with it. I would highly recommend him to anybody. Thanks Sam
