So, John contacted me promptly to discuss my job (the following day). He was courteous, friendly and professional,asking the necessary questions to understand our job better. After our conversation, John arranged to come round same day to see the job and give us a quote. If we take him on for the job I'm sure he would be as prompt and professional in getting the job done.

Cost of a metal staircase
The cost of a metal staircase can vary significantly based on factors such as the design, materials, and complexity of the installation. Here’s a breakdown of typical costs:
Average Cost Estimates
- Basic Metal Staircases: Simple designs with basic materials typically range from £1,000 to £3,000.
- Custom Metal Staircases: More complex designs and higher-quality materials can cost between £3,000 and £10,000 or more.
Factors Affecting Cost
- Design Complexity: Custom designs with intricate details or special features will increase the cost.
- Material Choice: Different metals (e.g., steel, aluminium, wrought iron) have varying costs.
- Installation Complexity: The complexity of the installation, such as the need for custom fitting or integration with existing structures, can also impact the cost.
How long does it take to install a metal staircase?
The time required to install a metal staircase can vary based on several factors, including the complexity of the design, the size of the project, and the specifics of the installation site. Here’s a more detailed look at the installation timeline:
Simple Designs
For straightforward, prefabricated metal staircases with minimal customization:
- Preparation: Typically takes 1 to 2 days. This includes measuring the site, preparing the foundation, and ensuring all materials are ready.
- Installation: Usually completed within 1 to 2 days. The staircase components are assembled and securely installed, including any necessary welding or bolting.
Complex Designs
Custom or intricate metal staircases with unique features or designs may require more time:
- Design and Fabrication: Custom designs often involve a detailed planning and fabrication process that can take several weeks. This includes creating detailed blueprints, cutting and shaping metal components, and adding any custom features.
- Site Preparation: May take 2 to 3 days, depending on the complexity of the site and the foundation work required.
- Installation: Can range from 3 to 7 days or more. This phase includes assembling the custom components on-site, ensuring all parts fit perfectly, and securely fastening the structure. Additional steps such as welding, applying finishes, and installing handrails or balustrades are also included.

Other metal staircase FAQs
Are steel stairs cheaper than wood?
Generally, steel staircases can be more cost-effective than wood, especially for simple designs. However, costs can vary based on the complexity and materials chosen for both types.
Are metal stairs noisy?
Properly installed metal staircases should not be excessively noisy. The noise level can be minimised by using appropriate materials and installation techniques, such as anti-vibration pads and rubber treads.
Are stairs without bannisters illegal?
Building regulations typically require staircases to have bannisters for safety. It’s important to check local building codes and regulations to ensure compliance with safety standards.

They worked non stop and did not leave until it was all done and cleaned. Pleasant to deal with and friendly. Had to do extra work and still fitted it in. Very hard working and nice. Thanks

Made a total mess of a small extension. Quoted 2 weeks and after 7 I sacked him off as we were going nowhere. Massive list of his work didn’t comply with building regs and ended up fitting a purlin to roof as he used wrong sized joists. I now have bits of roof hanging off after max 30 mph winds Even managed to cock guttering up so down pipe is nowhere near drains. Roof leaking and I have had to sack him off and pay another load of cash to a set of lads who can do the job. Avoid or he’ll bankrupt you

Sam & Jess were real pro's. They worked really hard installing me a new drainage channel to stop the passage way at the side of my house flooding every time it rained, They did find what appeared to be the old drainage which had been covered by several inches of concrete. They put in a new drainage system which looks very tidy and is doing its job already. They cleared up really well when they'd finished. I was very pleased with the job and would thoroughly recommend them. Also they were really nice people.
We are a Father and Son team with 25+ years of experience in the construction industry, specializing in extensions and outbuildings.
Placed advert Thursday. Contacted same day by Mike with a view to coming out and quoting next day. Came on time priced the job on Friday and arranged to start work on the Tuesday. Mike worked with his son Silas. What a really nice pair. Genuine, polite and got on with the job even though I asked for a few tweaks along the way. Both very old school and worked at their own pace - happy with work carried out and will use them again. Reasonable price too.
