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.

We will be using Marcel again for other jobs.

After initially posting for a small garden job at home, instead spontaneously requesting a quote to inspect the condition of a roof on a commercial property. Jesse recommended installing replacement rain goods. These works led to the discovery of a serious issue, that he and his team were immediately able to address, using incredibly high standards of workmanship, culminating in a substantial roof upgrade. Jesse and his team were professional, courteous and extremely tidy. I am delighted with the outcome.

I had a lot of work done today - curtain rails put up, a rather drastic painting and filling in job to be done in the main room where an old fashioned radiator had been taken out, etc. The painting job was of real concern to me as this is a newly refurbished flat with no clue left as to what shade was used on the walls, but the match is faultless. I unhesitatingly recommend PS Building and Decorating, you honestly would have to search very hard to find a comparable standard of work. I
