The main reasons you should turn to experts to create a staircase
Some homeowners in the UK often wonder whether they can create a private staircase on their own. They believe that such a solution will allow them to save considerably on their budget. However, building a staircase is a complicated process that requires knowledge and experience.
To create one average staircase, a whole team of several people is usually involved. If you are looking for reasons why you should contact professionals to construct a staircase, then you have come to the right place. We have prepared a lot of useful information for you!
Why building a staircase on your own isn’t the best solution
At first glance, building a self-made staircase may seem like a way to save money and bring all your ideas to life. However, is it really so? Such a process requires professional knowledge and skills, without which it is easy to make mistakes that affect the safety and durability of the construction.
- Complexity of calculations. An error of even a few millimetres can lead to skewed construction.
- Lack of professional equipment. Special equipment is expensive and is required for accurate assembly.
- Safety. Incorrect installation can cause injuries.
There are no laws in the UK that prohibit you from building your own stairs at home. However, you must follow all existing building regulations.
Benefits of V.P Stairs you should know about
As you may have already realised, creating a staircase on your own is a decision that will take you a lot of effort and time. Moreover, it will be difficult to ensure that you comply with all the building regulations on your own, which is why we recommend that you contact V.P Stairs’ team of professionals. Below, we’ve put together a few reasons why you should order staircases in the UK from V.P Stairs.
1. Compliance with construction regulations
Obviously, the main feature that distinguishes professionals from amateurs is the quality of the work done and compliance with government requirements. On the territory of the UK, there is a document BS 5395-1:2010 with the rules of staircase construction since 2010.
One of the main principles for us is safety and a high level of comfort for our clients. That is why V.P Stairs staff clearly follow all the rules that ensure the functionality and high safety of stairs. For example, these rules concern such elements as ascent, descent, angles, width of steps, handrails and so on.
2. Only the best materials
Another reason why you should turn to us instead of building your own staircase is the quality of the materials. We work with licensed suppliers of materials such as metal, stone, wood, and glass. We customise the materials for each project. For example, for the Chelsea project, we selected the best pieces of marble. The result was impressive, wasn’t it? Speaking about wood, you can be sure of its sustainability and quality. All the timber materials we use in our projects are licensed, so there’s no reason to worry.
3. Great experience
One of the key strengths of our company is our vast experience. In 2023 alone, we have successfully completed 134 projects of various levels of complexity. We are trusted by such global brands as Rolex, Hilton, and Versace, which confirms our impeccable reputation and high quality of work. Our specialists know the details of designing and installing staircases, paying attention to every detail to create a unique product that perfectly matches the client’s wishes.

Yes, I too believe that such complex projects are better delegated to professionals. There is a phrase that goes well with this situation: ‘penny wise and pound foolish.
