Staircase cladding — Staircase renovation company
Provide photographs of straight and turning steps, the existing finish and both landings. Describe the material or appearance you want, but allow the installer to assess the stair and edge details before assuming the chosen covering is suitable.
Service scope
Covering suitable existing stair components with a specified cladding system to renew their appearance or wearing surface. The support condition, tread and riser geometry, nosings and landing transitions must suit the system; cladding is not a structural repair to an unsound staircase.
What is normally included
- Assessment for a defined cladding system
- Measurement of steps and transitions
- Installation of compatible covering and edge components
What is not included
- Concealment of loose or damaged structure
- Assumed compatibility of ordinary flooring with every stair
Typical tasks
- Assess the existing support
- Measure step shapes
- Confirm system and edge compatibility
- Fit the agreed cladding components
- Review transitions and provide care guidance
What to include in your brief
- Stair material and condition
- Step count and shapes
- Existing covering
- Desired cladding system
- Landing and access details
Choosing the right professional
Ask how the proposed system handles nosings, winding steps and the first and last transitions. Compare complete components and preparation rather than a price for surface boards alone, and confirm who addresses defects found underneath.
Important considerations
- Added coverings can change usable step geometry
- Unsupported edges or poor transitions can create hazards
