Timber is an excellent choice for external staircases, offering strength, durability and a natural finish that works well with both domestic and commercial properties.
We specialise in bespoke wooden external staircases, using carefully selected hardwoods and softwoods suited to outdoor conditions. Timber can also be combined with metal spindles where required to create a more contemporary appearance.
The right timber will depend on the staircase design, location and level of use. Our team can recommend the most suitable option for your project following a site assessment.
Yes, external staircases may need to meet relevant UK Building Regulations, particularly in relation to the staircase dimensions, handrails, guarding and overall safety.
Requirements can vary depending on whether the staircase is being installed at a domestic or commercial property and how it will be used.
Stairway Joinery designs and installs external staircases with the relevant regulations and safety requirements in mind.
Planning permission may be required for an external staircase depending on the property, the size and position of the staircase, and whether it affects neighbouring properties or the appearance of the building.
Commercial properties, listed buildings and properties within conservation areas may also have additional requirements. We recommend checking with your local planning authority before work begins where planning permission may apply.
Yes. We design and manufacture bespoke external staircases for domestic and commercial properties.
Each staircase can be tailored to the available space, architectural style and practical requirements of the property. This allows us to create anything from an outdoor staircase providing access to a garden or raised terrace to a staircase for a commercial entrance or external access point.
External staircases should be designed with outdoor conditions in mind. Depending on the staircase and its location, features such as suitable tread surfaces, handrails, guarding and non-slip solutions may be recommended.
Good design also considers drainage and the materials used to reduce the risks associated with wet or slippery surfaces.
For commercial staircases in particular, safety and regular maintenance should be considered from the outset.
The cost of an external staircase varies depending on its size, design, timber, balustrade, access requirements and installation complexity. Because every project is different, the best way to establish an accurate cost is through a consultation and site assessment.
Stairway Joinery can assess your property, discuss your requirements and provide recommendations for a bespoke external staircase designed around your space and budget.
