Request a staircase quoteFlats and offices going in above shops in Bury St Edmunds often need a new fire escape or internal stair. We fabricate every part in Norwich, then assemble it on your upper floor.

Based in Norwich. Stairs fitted around Bury St Edmunds.
Metal stairs for the town's upper floors
A stair built to reach a floor nobody planned for.
Carrying steel up a narrow stairwell above a shop rules out one welded lump, so every stair here is a kit of parts from the start.
We fabricate metal stairs for houses, shops and offices around Bury St Edmunds, with stringers cut from plate or channel and treads made as chequer plate, folded pans or ready for timber.
Each landing and balustrade panel is its own piece too. When a conversion has an awkward stairwell we trial fit the parts in our Norwich workshop first, then prime, finish, deliver and put it all together on your floor.
Our architectural metalwork here
Built for stairwells, not showrooms
A tight stairwell above a shop, made to fit.
Send the drawings, or just the floor to floor height and the space you have. We can help turn that into a layout ready for fabrication and price it as a free estimate.
Fire escapes for converted upper floors.
A change of use that puts people on a floor that had none before often needs a galvanised fire escape added outside. We also make stairs for the small mezzanines in local workshops and stores.
Rails to close off a new landing.
Balustrade panels for stairs, landings and small mezzanine edges come with vertical bar, flat bar or glass-ready infill, matched by wall or post mounted handrails in mild or stainless steel.
The numbers come from your designer
Rise, going and heights come from your designer.
A change of use adds Building Regulations into the mix, and the figures that matter, rise, going, handrail height, infill gaps and loading, are set by your designer or Building Control, not by us.
Once you have those figures we build to them from your drawing. We are not the ones signing off compliance, and calculations for anything structural come from your engineer.
Already had comments back from Building Control on the change of use? Pass them on so we price the version that will actually pass.

What we need to price a stair here.
If you have drawings, send them. If not, give us the floor to floor height, the width, the space top and bottom, the tread type and the finish, and photos of a tight stairwell if that is what we are fitting into.
How long it takes depends on the design, the finish and how hard the upper floor is to reach. Outside finishers handle galvanising and powder coating. Where the stair has to match an existing opening, we measure on site first.
Related steelwork
We also make gates, railings and feature steel.
Our fitters reach staircases across Bury St Edmunds and out to Thurston, Stowmarket, Newmarket and Mildenhall, and the same workshop turns out driveway gates, boundary railings and feature steel.
Whatever the size of the conversion, you get a free estimate first and a price agreed before any steel is cut, whether you are a builder, a shop owner or a homeowner.

Before you order a steel stair here.
Can you fit a stair into a shop conversion?
Yes, that is regular work for us in this town. We measure the existing stairwell on site, build the pieces to match it in Norwich, then carry them up and assemble them in place.
Does a shop conversion stair meet Building Regs?
It will if it is built to the figures your designer or Building Control give us: rise, going, heights and loadings. We do not sign off compliance ourselves, so that design step comes before we fabricate.
Are glass infill panels possible on a stair here?
Yes. Treads can be steel plates or pans drilled ready for your joiner's timber, and balustrade panels can be built glass-ready, with fixings positioned for whatever glass your glazier supplies.
How does the stair get up a narrow stairwell?
One piece at a time. Stringers, treads, landings and balustrade panels come up separately and get bolted together once inside, so nothing needs a wider doorway or an opened up wall.
