Standard staircases and parts are available through our sister company The Loft Room Staircase Company

Rising above the ordinary

Timber Staircases is a sister company of The Loft Room Staircase Company, established 1998. We specialise in bespoke curved staircases on a constant radius and solid hardwood staircases for high-end residential and commercial projects.

The Timber Staircases brand is synonymous with deep, specialist skills that combine traditional craftsmanship with state-of-the-art design. Luxury is in the detail. Every timber staircase is designed as an architectural centrepiece.

Our custom-made timber staircases

Our expertly customised staircases are produced by pairing the technology of CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/Modelling) design software and CNC (Computer Numerical Control) automated machinery, with time-served craftsmanship. Our staircase structures are designed and manufactured in-house at our 52,000 sq ft factory workshop in Harlow.

Our Harlow workshop is powered by over 1500 solar panels on its own roof.

Our joiners work with a variety of timber products, each selected for its grain, durability and finish, depending on the requirements of the project. We combine timber such as oak, walnut, sapele, pine, ash and wenge with a range of materials to produce unique, contemporary timber staircases. Where pine is specified, we use furniture-grade Redwood pine strings, selected for their quality and finish

Our core capability is curved staircases on a constant radius, alongside bespoke solid hardwood, straight and winder staircases. We design and manufacture curved and continuous handrails in-house. We develop the geometry and detailing to suit each project.

Every balustrade, tread and riser is precision-engineered and built to the highest standards, and in line with all safety and building regulations.

Designed for living

While stunning staircase aesthetics are central to our design process, we also understand that staircases must be designed for living.

A staircase is an essential functional resource in any property, whether it’s a luxury home or commercial property. Each Timber Staircases structure is developed based on specific criteria such as its location within a property, environment, available space, required load capacity, available wall support, slip resistance, step dimensions, handrail height, or safety.

The combined experience of the Timber Staircases design team ensures the quest for unique design does not compromise functional living or structural integrity. As an example, inset LED step lighting can be designed and incorporated for practical illumination as well as defining mood and atmosphere.

Our timber staircase design and manufacturing process

  • The manufacturing process begins with a detailed survey during which we measure the site for ourselves. Then we measure it again! Our lead surveyor has forty years in the trade, twenty of them with Timber Staircases, bringing valuable joinery experience to each survey.
  • We may find that an architect’s drawings need to be adapted to facilitate the staircase specification, so our early involvement is key
  • The most appropriate species of timber is selected
  • Using the latest software, we produce technical drawings for sign off
  • The staircase is manufactured in our factory
  • Premium finishes such as hand-rubbed oil, lacquer (satin or matte), brass fittings, steel spindles and step lighting are applied
  • Transport and delivery to site is organised. This is a critical stage in our process. We once sent eight staff members to deliver a single staircase. The team size is planned around the access and handling requirements of each project.
  • We can offer advice on installation if required, or call upon our well established and trusted network of installers to complete the installation.
