A Certified Staircases UK is a vital component of any property, providing access to upper and lower floors while adding a touch of elegance and design flair. However, constructing or renovating an existing staircase requires extensive planning. Choosing the type of staircase, materials, and tradesmen to hire will all have an impact on how much your project is likely to cost.
If you are building a new build, then the most cost-effective way of fitting your staircase is to purchase a modular flat-pack kit which comes in pieces that can be built and fitted in a day by a competent DIYer. This option allows for significantly more personalization, including the option to mix and match elements from the manufacturer’s pattern book. This bespoke approach also offers you the ability to choose from a wider selection of high-quality finishes.

The BWF Stair Scheme (of which JELD-WEN is a member) focuses on performance standards associated with loading, deflection and fire safety in staircases. All accredited manufacturers of domestic, common and fire-protected common stairs are audited biennially to ensure an effective factory production control system is in place and that they adhere to the core principles and values set out in the BWF Code of Conduct.
When it comes to a loft conversion, the regulations for these projects are covered by Approved Document M. This guidance dictates the requirements for stairs in loft conversions, particularly with regard to means of escape.
