Common questions
A standard softwood replacement is typically £1,000 to £2,500, oak or hardwood around £2,500 to £5,000, and a bespoke or glass staircase £5,000 and up.
Yes, but moving or reshaping a staircase is structural work and adds cost, because it affects the floor opening and sometimes the rooms around it. A like-for-like replacement is much cheaper.
