Metal Staircase Manufacturers for London

Why a Hampshire Manufacturer for London Projects?

London has plenty of staircase installers. What London does not have is many manufacturers — companies that actually design, fabricate, finish, and install under one roof. Most London staircase companies are resellers or installers who source from third-party fabricators, adding a markup and a communication layer between you and the people actually building your staircase.

Continox is a manufacturer. We design your staircase, fabricate it in our own workshop, powder coat it in our own spray booth, and install it with our own team. Our workshop is in Hampshire — 90 minutes from Central London by road, and directly off the M3/A3 corridor. We deliver to all London postcodes and have installed staircases across South West London, Central London, East London, and the surrounding boroughs.

The practical benefit for London clients is straightforward: you get manufacturer-direct pricing without a London middleman markup, you deal directly with the people who build your staircase, and any issue during installation is resolved on the spot by the team that fabricated the product — not escalated to a third party.

London-Specific Considerations

Access and logistics

London properties present unique access challenges — narrow hallways, tight turns through front doors, limited parking for delivery vehicles, and Congestion Zone restrictions. We plan every London installation in advance, coordinating delivery times around parking suspensions, skip permits, and restricted hours where needed. Our fabrication is modular — staircases are designed to be delivered in sections that fit through standard doorways and assembled on site.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Many London properties — particularly in boroughs like Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea, Camden, and Islington — are listed or within conservation areas. We have experience working on listed properties where Building Control and conservation officers require specific design approvals. For staircases in listed buildings, we can produce detailed design documentation, material specifications, and heritage impact assessments to support your application.

Loft conversions

London's high property values make loft conversions one of the most popular home improvement projects in the capital. A bespoke steel-and-oak staircase transforms a loft conversion from a functional attic room into a genuine additional storey. For loft conversion staircase design, regulations, and costs, see our loft conversion staircase ideas guide and our loft staircase regulations guide.

HMO fire escapes

London has the highest concentration of HMOs in the UK, and enforcement of fire safety standards has intensified significantly since the Fire Safety Act 2021. We supply and install galvanised fire escape staircases for HMO properties across London — BS 9991 compliant, with full certification for licensing applications. For HMO fire escape requirements, see our HMO fire escape guide.

Pricing for London

Our staircase prices are the same regardless of whether the project is in Hampshire or London — we do not add a "London premium" to our manufacturing costs. Delivery and installation to London postcodes is included in all quoted prices for projects within the M25. For projects in outer London (beyond the M25), a small additional delivery charge may apply — this is confirmed at the quotation stage.
