Metal staircases for Wymondham builds

On a new build, the stair is a date in the programme.

Wymondham keeps growing, and every new house and unit needs a way upstairs. When the stair goes in matters as much as its looks.

Builders and self builders ask about steel staircases in Wymondham at two points. Some come early, with the architect's drawings and the slab not yet poured. Others come late, with the first floor in and second thoughts about the stair. We can work with either.

Early is better. We price from the drawings, then measure the real opening once the floor structure is in, because as built sizes never quite match the drawn ones. Stringers, treads, the landing and the balustrade panels are fabricated and finished while the other trades carry on. They arrive as a kit, bolt together in the stairwell, and get wrapped against plaster and paint.

Homes, self builds and A11 units

Give us the drawings and the dates, and we work to both.

Email the plans and sections, and tell us where the build has got to and when the stair is wanted. We can help turn the architect's design into steel that can be fabricated. Estimates are free.

01 / New homes

Feature staircases for new houses.

Straight, quarter turn and half turn stairs for entrance halls and open plan living spaces, with plate stringers, a spine beam or a zig zag profile. Treads in folded steel or made for timber, painted or powder coated in the colour on your finishes schedule.

02 / Glass and guarding

Balustrades, landings and Juliets.

Landing and stairwell balustrades with posts and channels set out for your glazier's glass, or with bar infill. Juliet balconies and handrails for plots in Wymondham, Hethersett and Mulbarton can be made in the same order.

03 / Commercial units

Stairs for offices and trade units.

Office stairs, mezzanine stairs and fire escape stairs for units at Gateway 11, Ayton Road and Browick Road, and for engineering firms around Hethel. Chequer plate or closed treads, galvanised outdoors, painted indoors, to your designer's drawings.

Designed by others, made by us

Your architect sets the rise, going and guarding heights.

On a new house the stair is part of the Building Regulations package from day one. Your architect draws the rise, going, headroom, handrail height and the gaps in the guarding, states the loadings, and the inspector checks them. Self builders should ask for a proper stair detail, not just a plan.

We fabricate to that detail and do not certify compliance. Anything structural, such as a trimmer beam, a post under a landing or fixings into a timber floor, needs your structural engineer's figures. If we spot a clash with a door, window or radiator on the drawings, we point it out first.

If your inspector has already asked for changes to the stair, send us the revised drawing, not the old one.

Quotes for Wymondham builds

What your builder should send us.

Plans, sections and the stair detail if there is one. Failing that, the opening size, the width, the tread and balustrade type and the finish. Give us the floor build up as well, because screed and flooring change the first and last rise.

Being ten miles away, we can come and measure as soon as the opening exists, and again if anything changes. Share your programme and we will say which dates we can meet. Powder coating and galvanising go to outside finishers and need their own slot. If glass is involved, your glazier templates from our steel once it is up.

More for Wymondham builders

Beams, gates and railings for the same plot.

The same build often needs steel beams over the openings, and gates or railings for the frontage. We fabricate all of it in Norwich and deliver to Wymondham, Hingham, Hethersett and the villages off the A11. Gates are made as leaves and posts, ready to hang once your builder has the piers in.

Estimates cost nothing, and a price is agreed before fabrication begins. Self builders, small developers and main contractors all get the same care.

Wymondham staircase FAQs

Questions from Wymondham self builders.

When should I order the stair for a new build?

As early as you can. We can price from drawings before the floor is in, then confirm sizes with a site measure once the opening is formed. Ordering late is possible too, but finishing takes time, so ask us before you promise anyone a date.

Who signs the staircase off for Building Regs?

Your Building Control body, on the design your architect produced. Our part is making it to their rise, going, heights and loadings. We are not able to certify compliance, so get the design approved first.

Can the balustrade take glass panels?

Yes. We make the posts, channels or fixing points to suit the glass, and your glazier measures and supplies the panels once the steel is fixed. Tell us the glass thickness and fixing type when you ask for a price.

Do you cover Hethersett, Hingham and Mulbarton?

Yes. They are all a few miles from Wymondham and no distance from our Norwich base. Attleborough and the rest of the A11 corridor in south Norfolk are covered as well.
