Bespoke or made-to-order? The most abused word in the stair trade
What "bespoke" really means on a staircase, why most "bespoke" stairs are actually made-to-order, the ladder from off-the-peg to truly bespoke, and why a bespoke service is not the same as a bespoke product.
Why you cannot price-match a staircase
Two staircase quotes are almost never for the same thing. Here is what actually differs beneath a cheaper number, from timber section and landing scope to who measured it, and how to compare like for like so a lower price does not con you.
What actually drives the cost of a staircase
There is no single price for a staircase because the cost is driven by choices: the design, the timber and its grade, the sectional sizes, the balustrade, and how much of the surrounding work is included. Here is what actually moves the number.
Does a new staircase add value to your home?
It depends on why you are doing it. You can overspend on a staircase and not get it back, because a stair is a personal choice like a kitchen or a bathroom, so if you are selling, go with what appeals broadly rather than a personal statement. If the existing stairs are worn out, replacing them is as much about safety as value.
