JamieM Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Would anyone be able to recommend a joinery company in NI to make stairs for us. For a modern/contemporary open tread oak staircase maybe with some glass I can find a few with a Google search but thought I’d see if anyone could recommend any?

Guest Alphonsox Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 We're at exactly the same point in the build. I was going to the show in Belfast on Friday to try and find some suppliers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Harris Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Does it have to be in NI? We used a company in Wales who CNC machine oak (and other timbers) into staircases and the price was very good. Our oak staircase, with 10mm glass balustrade and oak hand rails and newel posts was a bit over £2k, including the landing. The firm were Pear Stairs: https://www.pearstairs.co.uk/ The stair case was delivered by a courier, very well packaged with loads of foam etc. The glass was sent separately, after the stairs were in place, as they needed confirmation of the fitted dimensions. This is what it looks like: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan52 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) I used ballykelly joinery in banbridge for mine. They where pretty good to deal with. Of hand I think for my stairs, open treads spindles Bannister in oak with the cut string in softwood painted white, and 14 softwood door frames was approx £2000. That was 3 years ago though but they where much cheaper than anyone else I got a price from. http://www.ballykellygroup.co.uk Will take a pic when I get home.

Guest Alphonsox Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I've been using Pair Stairs as my design and pricing comparison point. I hadn't considered asking them to quote for delivery to NI but looking at their site again they do claim "Stairs delivered 7-10 days anywhere in the UK". I would rather use a local outfit bit this is definitely another option. BTW > they seem to have fixed the price calculator on their site, I was getting prices of £17000 for a simple run on Monday !

Declan52 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 If you go on the self build.ie site and look at who is going to be there at the show it will give you a chance to Google a few of the companies and check them out first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doesn't have to be - sometimes i just find it easier to meet up with and talk to people in person and generally i do find things a bit cheaper over here compared to mainland. but would be happy to buy off mainland if the price was right 11 minutes ago, PeterW said: hey also have have a great stair configuration tool on their website too - allows you to design and price your stairs and check it meets regs ! just ran the online tool and price came back at just over £5k. will have to play around what it and see what i can do to reduce it 12 minutes ago, Declan52 said: Will take a pic when I get home. cheers would appreciate that 4 minutes ago, Declan52 said: If you go on the self build.ie site and look at who is going to be there at the show it will give you a chance to Google a few of the companies and check them out first. good idea - would like to get a quote pre the show as i imagine they may get loads of requests for quotes at the show so may take a while for them to get back to me.

Steptoe Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I can vouch for ballykelly Joinery too, I could get you numbers for a couple of bespoke small joinery companies too if you want, the company my BiL works for that make bespoke kitchens work fairly closely with some fit-out joiners.

Declan52 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Ended up painting the spindles white as with an oak for we thought it was just too much oak so needed to break it up. The dog sits there and watches the front door ready to attack and lick visitors to death. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I've rang a few companies for quotes and think I'll give ballycastle joinery a call later today. I'll give you a shout if i need the numbers you offered. thanks. 12 hours ago, Declan52 said: Ended up painting the spindles white as with an oak for we thought it was just too much oak so needed to break it up.

Stairs look well Declan. we were thinking some glass instead of spindles - will have to see if they do that as i cant see any examples of it on their website. But I'm sure they will be able to. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan52 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) They do glass as that's what I wanted first of all. They make Windows and doors as there main business so glass would be no problem. Having 3 kids we would have been cleaning it all the time so for our sanity we changed our minds. Don't think of hand it was much more expensive maybe a few hundred. Don't phone ballycastle joinery try ballykelly instead!!!!

JamieM Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 noted, ballykelly. we're still unsure about the glass thing too for the same reason you outlined above, but I've got quotes from the others to include glass, so I'll ask for that in the quote so i get a like for like quote and then when i decide which company to go with, i can see us going with something similar to yourself. might put glass at the top with spindles on the stairs themselves though i don't know how that would look.

Picking out the spindles in white makes it look nice and contemporary and lighter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan52 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 That's how I wanted mine but the kids hand marks on the glass put me off. How are you finding it cleaning wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 What about a half height extra handrail for the 'winks? Even make it removeable for when they grow up? Ferdinand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weegaz Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Why did you source your treads? We need approx 95mm deep treads and finding that they will need make up from 44mm oak to get depth due to shrinkage, expansion and cracks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
