Staircases

A bespoke timber staircase is often the most significant architectural feature of a British home, acting as a functional centerpiece that defines the flow between floors.

At Highgate Joinery, we specialise in crafting custom staircases that range from traditional closed-string designs with elegant turned balusters for period properties to striking open-tread modern stairs for contemporary conversions. Whether you are looking to replace a tired, creaking flight or are designing a grand entrance hall for a new build, our master joiners ensure every riser, tread, and handrail is engineered for both structural integrity and aesthetic impact.

To ensure a lifetime of silent, sturdy use, we manufacture our staircases using premium hardwoods such as European Oak, Walnut, or Sapele. These timbers offer superior durability and a tactile quality that mass-produced softwood kits simply cannot match. We pay meticulous attention to the finer details, from volute handrails and curtailed bottom steps to modern glass balustrades that maximise the sense of light and space. Because every home has unique proportions, we provide a complete bespoke service from our local workshop, tailoring the pitch, width, and finish—whether natural oil or professional spray-paint—to fit your space perfectly and meet all current UK building regulations.
