Staircases · made to measure

Oak staircases, drawn, cut and fitted by hand.

Every staircase is drawn for your hallway, made from one batch of oak in our workshop, and fitted by the carpenter who made it. Most go in over two days, with the old stairs gone by lunch on the first.

Making it

Good to know

Can we stay at home while you fit it?

Yes. We fit a temporary ladder the first night, so the upstairs is never cut off.

Do you make painted staircases?

Yes, in tulipwood ready for paint, from $4,900.
