- Hot-dip galvanised, powder-coated or painted, fabricated to BS EN 1090-1 EXC2
A staircase is often the one piece of steel a building's users actually touch, so it has to be both correct and well made. We engineer feature stairs to the architect's intent and fabricate escape and access stairs to the loading and guarding regulations, all to Execution Class 2. Because we also fabricate the structure, the stair is co-ordinated with the frame it fixes to.

Steel Staircases: common questions
- What types of steel staircase do you fabricate?
- We fabricate feature and architectural staircases, escape stairs and access stairs, in straight, dog-leg, half-turn and switchback configurations, with steel or steel-and-glass balustrades, all to BS EN 1090-1, Execution Class 2 (EXC2).
- Do your staircases and balustrades meet building regulations?
- We fabricate staircases and guarding to the relevant loading and guarding requirements for the building type, including the horizontal and infill loads set out in the guarding regulations. Share your architect's or engineer's design and we'll confirm against it.
- What finishes are available for steel staircases?
- Steel staircases can be hot-dip galvanised, powder-coated or painted, chosen to suit whether the stair is a hidden escape route or an exposed architectural feature. Tell us the finish with your enquiry.
- Can you design a feature staircase from an architect's concept?
- Yes. We engineer and fabricate feature staircases to the architect's design intent, co-ordinating the structure, fixings and balustrade so the finished stair matches the concept and carries the required loads.
- Do you fabricate staircases for commercial projects across London?
- Yes. We fabricate commercial and architectural steel staircases for offices, residential blocks, retail and mixed-use schemes across London and the South East, from our works in Denham, West London.
