Staircase installation cost guide

The cost of staircase work depends on the design, materials and level of structural work required. Replacing bannisters or handrails is typically more affordable than installing a full staircase. Bespoke timber staircases, premium hardwood materials or structural modifications increase costs.

Costs may increase if:

  • Structural changes are required
  • Custom staircase designs are requested
  • Hardwood or premium timber is used
  • Existing stairs need removal or repair
  • Property access is limited

Posting your job allows local carpenters to provide accurate quotes based on your staircase type and property layout.

Really easy to use. I posted the job in the morning and had quotes back the same day. Ended up booking someone local and the work was spot on.

Nicky, Homeowner

So much simpler than ringing around. I got a couple of quotes, compared them, and picked the one that felt right. Would definitely use again.

Dan, Homeowner

Great service. The builder was very clear and local to me, so I’m not wasting time on the wrong type of quotes. I’ve already listed a new bit of work for a quote! 

Ian, Homeowner
