Your fitter starts by measuring floor heights, openings, and headroom, and then advises on suitable staircase types and layouts.

Step 2: Manufacture or supply

Staircases may be custom-built or supplied pre-manufactured, depending on space, budget, and design.

Step 3: Installation and finishing

The staircase is installed, secured, and finished with handrails, balustrades, and trims as required.
