What this work involves
Measure the existing geometry, floor-to-floor height, headroom and supports before fixing the design.
- New staircase or covering
- Handrails and balustrades
- Materials, grip and maintenance
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Keep assessed causes and inspection points accessible when applying new finishes.
What the drawing needs to explain
Create a defect map with photographs, locations and investigation questions. Include inspection access and the intended drainage path in the repair proposal.
How to review the result
Check the repair and future access together. Ask which signs deserve attention at the next inspection and where the relevant documentation is stored.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on stair geometry, bespoke work, materials and reinstatement. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs of the existing situation, available drawings and your requirements for stairs, stair renovation & balustrades. Identify the elements that should remain.
Questions about the work
What should I discuss before arranging stairs, stair renovation & balustrades?
Coverings change tread dimensions and connections. Renovation still requires assessment of usability, safety and floor transitions.
The design situations here illustrate choices; they are not completed projects or a diagnosis of your property.
