Staircase manufacturers?

[Manny]

Hello again!

With the living room almost complete (I still need to finish the floor) it's time to think about moving on to another room.

I've decided that the cellar should be next, but before I can really get started I need to replace the stairs. At the moment there's just a rickety old wooden affair that seems to have been thrown together, with no handrail. An accident waiting to happen basically.

I'd like to install a new cast iron staircase (I say stairs... it's more like just a few steps, about eight in total leading down in a straight line).

Does anyone happen to know of someone reputable who makes these things, perferably towards the south east? How about an idea of cost? I've searched around but I can't seem to find out very much.

If it turns out to be prohibitively expensive I guess I could just get a better wooden set made. How about steel or even aluminium? Are they a possible less expensive alternative?

Here’s the best likeness to what I have in mind, but for internal use obviously:

When we had our static caravan at Brean there was a guy down there who spent all his time making steps just like those in your picture for all the caravan owners. There are plenty down there.
I suspect there are plenty down your way as well, so maybe pop into a friendly looking one and ask who makes all the steps.

If it is a straight flight stairs you require, the chapest by far would be to get a wooden one , off the shelf, from builders merchant or joinery firms and then ask a carpenter to fit it for you.

You might want to call one or two of these.
