How long does it take to build a wooden staircase?

Building a wooden staircase usually takes 1 to 3 days for simpler designs, while custom or curved staircases can take up to a week. This timeline includes the structural setup, finishing touches, and any required sanding or painting. Larger or more intricate designs may require additional time for precise installation and adjustments.

Other wooden staircase FAQs

What is the best paint for a wooden staircase?

Durable, non-slip paint specifically made for high-traffic areas is ideal for wooden staircases, ensuring safety and a long-lasting finish.

Can I install a wooden staircase myself?

While it’s possible, building a staircase requires skill and precision, so hiring a professional is recommended for safety and quality.

What wood types are commonly used for staircases?

Popular options include oak, pine, and walnut, each offering a unique look and varying levels of durability.

DO NOT USE THIS PLUMBER! Andy MacClay trading as FRPM was engaged to fit a bathroom for a lady in her 90's. Although personable, he did an appalling job and left the poor lady with raw sewage leaking and a dreadful smell. She was very distressed for months and it cost over £1800 to put the work right. He has since stopped answering his phone and does not respond to any communication.

All the carpentry works. installation of doors, fixing skirting boards. Installation of all types of flooring, decking. Setting up fences, fixing the kitchen and all kinds of cupboards and wardrobes.
