Installation

How we fit it

Balustrade-only projects are usually 1–3 days on site. We can often work around a family in residence — installing in sections so you always have a usable staircase.

Common questions

Frequently asked

How long does it take from first call to installation? +
A typical project takes 6โ€“12 weeks from initial site visit to install. Survey and design happen in week 1; manufacture in our workshop takes the bulk of the time; installation is usually a few days on site. Larger projects or specialist timber may take longer โ€” we'll be honest about timings at the quote stage.
Do you do free quotes? +
Yes. We'll come out, talk through your project, take measurements and provide a written itemised quote. There's no obligation, no high-pressure follow-up and no fee.
Do you install everything yourselves? +
Yes. Everything we make is fitted by our own team. For kitchens and bedrooms we also coordinate any plumbing, electrical or building work on your behalf so you have a single point of contact.
Where are you based and how far do you travel? +
Our workshop is at Seal Croft Farm in Seal, just outside Sevenoaks. We cover Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge, Maidstone, Bromley, Orpington and much of central and south London. For larger projects we travel further into Kent and Surrey.
