James Grace (
www.jamesgrace.co.uk) specialises in both the design and build of bespoke new stairs, and the renovation of existing flights
A good staircase can become a key architectural feature inside your home – setting the tone for the rest of the living space. The sky’s the limit in terms of what can be achieved (and what you’ll pay for it), but broadly-speaking there are three main cost brackets, starting with the kit route, ranging up to off-the-shelf and going bespoke.
Kit stairs
If you’re on a very tight budget, these entry-level products are a cost-effective option – but your design choices can be limited. Prices start from as little as £160 for a bare-bones 12-step flight with pine strings, MDF treads and ply risers for you or your tradesperson to fit.
