Pricing Breakdown
What Affects the Final Cost?
The base price covers a standard straight flight. Here's exactly how each additional feature affects the total cost of your bespoke staircase.
The number of turns in your staircase significantly affects cost — each turn requires additional structural engineering, more materials and additional installation time. The base price covers a straight flight.
| Straight Flight | Included |
| 1 Turn (L-Shape) | +£1,500 |
| 2 Turns (U-Shape) | +£3,000 |
| 3 Turns | +£4,500 |
The standard tread width in our base package is 900mm. Wider treads require more solid oak timber and additional manufacturing time. Pricing applies per 100mm increment above 900mm.
| 900mm (standard) | Included |
| 1000mm width | +£950 |
| 1100mm width | +£1,900 |
| 1200mm width | +£2,850 |
The base price includes 12mm glass on one side. Upgrading to both sides, thicker glass or a frameless landing balustrade adds to the total cost. Prices are per linear metre.

| 12mm both sides | +£350/m |
| 17.5mm frameless | +£750/m |
| Landing balustrade | From +£350/m |
Platforms and landings are priced by square metre. They use a significant amount of material and require precise engineering to integrate with the central structure. Priced per m².

| 2m × 1m platform | +£3,600 |
