Overview
Staircases in Perth, done properly.
A staircase is where a flooring job is either finished or obviously not. A new timber floor running up to a carpeted stair, or to treads in a slightly different tone, undoes the work in the rooms either side of it.
We clad and overlay existing staircases in the same timber as the floor — treads, risers, nosings and the string where it is exposed. Carpet and the old tack strip come off, the existing structure is checked and packed where it needs it, and the new treads are template-cut to each individual step, because almost no staircase in a real house is identical from top to bottom.
The nosing is the detail that separates good work from average. We use a proper stair nosing profile in matching timber rather than an aluminium angle, so the front edge of every tread reads as part of the floor rather than a trim bolted onto it.
What's Included
Everything in the staircases price.
No line items appearing halfway through the job. This is the scope, quoted once, after we have seen the floor.
Template-Cut Treads
Each tread individually templated and cut, because the third step is almost never the same width as the ninth.
Matching Risers
Risers in matching timber or painted to contrast, depending on whether you want the stair to recede or stand out.
Stair Nosings
A proper timber nosing profile on every step, matched to the floor rather than finished with an aluminium angle.
Landings & Half-Landings
Landings laid to continue the floor pattern, with the direction carried through rather than reset at each level.
Balustrade Coordination
We work around existing glass, steel and timber balustrades, and sequence with your balustrade installer where one is being replaced.
How It Works
From first call to final clean-up.
Measure each step
Every tread and riser measured individually, along with the finished floor heights at top and bottom.
Strip the stair
Carpet, underlay and gripper removed, structure checked for movement and packed or re-fixed where needed.
Template & cut
Treads and risers templated and machined to the actual step, including winders and any half-landing.
Fix & finish
Treads fixed and bonded, nosings fitted, joins detailed and the stair cleaned down and handed over.

Local Detail
Matching the stair to the floor
The most common mistake we get called in to fix is a staircase clad in a product that was close to the floor but not the same. Two blackbutt products from different mills, or a solid tread against an engineered floor, will read as a mismatch under the hard Perth afternoon light even if they look identical in a showroom.
The way around it is to buy the stair material at the same time as the floor, from the same batch where possible, and to lay both with the same crew. It is also why we prefer to quote the floor and the stair together — splitting them across two trades and two suppliers is how you end up with a stair that never quite belongs.
Questions
The things people actually ask.
Can you put timber treads over an existing carpeted staircase?
Yes, that is the most common job we do. The carpet, underlay and gripper come off, the existing treads are checked and packed flat, and new overlay treads and risers are fixed over the top.
Will the stair match my new floor exactly?
If we supply both at the same time, yes — same product, same finish and ideally the same batch. If your floor is already down and was supplied by someone else, we will match as closely as the product allows and show you a sample against it first.
Do you do the balustrade as well?
No, balustrades are a separate trade. We work around existing glass, steel and timber balustrades, and we coordinate our timing with your balustrade installer when one is being replaced.
What about concrete or steel stairs?
Both can be clad. Concrete stairs need the treads checked for level and packed or levelled first; steel stairs usually need a substrate fixed to them before the timber goes on.
How long does a staircase take?
Two to four days for a standard flight, including removing the old covering. Winders, half-landings and open-sided stairs with exposed strings take longer because every piece is templated individually.
Is a timber stair slippery?
No more than any other hard surface, and the nosing profile gives a defined edge underfoot. If slip resistance is a specific concern — a rental, a clinic, an elderly resident — talk to us and we will discuss anti-slip insert options at quote stage.
