Bespoke wooden stairgates from Stairway Joinery are an alternative to standard shop-bought stairgates. These bespoke features are often made with a wooden frame to match your staircase and can have glass panels and either timber or metal spindles in the middle. They are an extension of your elegant timber staircase, blending in to continue the modern, sophisticated look of your stairs.
Our team are experienced in designing, constructing and installing bespoke wooden stairgates on stairs and doorframes across the South. We can integrate a timber stairgate when designing your new staircase or add one to an already existing staircase.

Stairgates will allow you to keep your little one safe or to separate the house and prevent little ones or pets from getting into certain rooms in a stylish and aesthetically appealing way. The versatility of the material allows us to create a custom stairgate that can perfectly match the existing wood in your house, creating a seamless feel throughout your home.
Wooden stairgates installed by our team will benefit from:
We design, construct and install bespoke wooden stairgates so the design can be flexible to suit the look and style of your home.
If you have used glass in your staircase, we can reflect the design and glass usage in the stairgate. Using the same wood as the staircase to create the frame, we can add glass panels with a timber upright in the middle, creating a sleek gate that mirrors your staircase.
This type of wooden stairgate simply uses the same wood as the staircase for the frame, as well as for the poles in the middle. This is a simpler look that is easy to maintain. Alternatively, we can design and manufacture a stairgate using metal infill spindles, this may be to match the existing stair spindles or to provide a contrast to the existing balustrading.
Ensure your home is safe without compromising on style with a timber stairgate!
Whether you are looking to add to an existing staircase or would like to add one to a staircase we are already designing, we can work with you to craft a stairgate that will fit seamlessly with your staircase and the interior design of your home.
Call us on 01202 622826, we are always happy to discuss what you might be looking for and how we are able to produce a bespoke stairgate for your needs.
Yes, and a fixed gate is the sensible choice. Because our wooden stairgates are secured to the newel post or wall rather than held by pressure, they can’t be pushed out of place, and there’s no trip bar at the bottom. We’ll agree which way the gate swings at the survey, so it opens away from the stairs.
The price depends on the width of the opening, the timber, and whether you’d like glass panels or timber or metal spindles. Because every gate is made to measure, we can’t give an honest figure without seeing the space.
After a site survey we’ll give you a clear quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.
A shop-bought gate is made to a standard size, so it often leaves gaps or relies on pressure to stay put. Our wooden stairgates are built to your exact opening, in the same timber as your staircase, and fixed securely in place. The result looks like part of the original design rather than something added afterwards.
Usually, yes. Older properties in particular rarely have square walls or level floors, which is why we measure on site rather than working from a drawing. Each gate is then made to suit the opening as it really is, whether that’s a narrow landing, an awkward turn or a doorway, so it closes cleanly without gaps.
Our design, production and fitting process can take as little as three weeks from start to finish. The exact timing depends on the timber, the design and the size of the opening, so we’ll confirm a realistic date once the survey is done. We’d rather give you an honest timescale than an optimistic one that slips.
