Construction, tiling and painting of internal staircases

Internal Staircase Construction, Tiling and Painting

Your internal staircase is one of the most used areas in the home, and it needs to be safe, durable, and finished to a high standard. We provide complete internal staircase services including construction, repair, tiling, and painting, with careful attention to levels, edges, and wear resistance. Whether you are upgrading an older stairwell or finishing a new build, we deliver clean workmanship and a finish that holds up to daily traffic.

Staircase Construction and Structural Preparation

Every great staircase finish starts with a solid base. We assess the existing structure, check for movement, squeaks, or uneven risers, and correct issues before any finish materials are installed. This step is essential for long term performance, especially when tiling is planned.

We can build or rebuild key elements such as steps, landings, and supporting surfaces to achieve consistent dimensions and safe, comfortable walking. If the stairwell needs surrounding adjustments, for example new side walls, boxed in sections, or ceiling changes above the stairs, we can coordinate this work as part of construction of walls and ceilings to keep the project seamless.

What we check and correct

• Step height and tread depth consistency
• Level and flatness of treads and landings
• Soundness of substrates for tile adhesion and paint performance
• Cracks, moisture staining, and previous repair quality
• Edge details to reduce chipping and trip risks

Tiling Internal Stairs and Landings

Tiled stairs can look sharp and modern, and they are easy to clean, but they require precise planning. We help you choose suitable tile types, slip resistance, and edge profiles, then install with accurate setting out so the lines run straight from step to step. Our team uses appropriate adhesives and grouts for heavy footfall and focuses on strong corner protection to prevent early damage.

We tile treads, risers, landings, and skirting as required, and we can include transitions to hallway floors so the stair finish flows naturally into adjacent rooms. If the stairwell includes new partitions, boxed services, or changes around the landing, we can combine the work with wall and ceiling finishing so everything meets cleanly at corners and edges.

Options for a safer, longer lasting finish

• Anti slip tiles and textured surfaces for family homes
• Nosing trims in metal or durable PVC for edge protection
• Colour matched grout or contrast grout depending on the design
• Water resistant detailing for staircases near entrances or basements
• Easy clean grout choices for brighter stairwells

Painting Stairwells, Walls, Ceilings, and Woodwork

A stairwell often has challenging angles, high walls, and awkward corners that show imperfections quickly. We prepare surfaces thoroughly, repair dents and cracks, sand where needed, and apply primers that promote uniform coverage. For high traffic areas we use durable paint systems that resist marking and allow easier cleaning, particularly along hand height zones and around corners.

We paint stair walls, ceilings, undersides of stairs, skirting, handrails, and trims with sharp cut lines and consistent sheen. Where stair refurbishment includes new linings, boxed beams, or ceiling changes, we can align the painting stage with ceiling installation services so new surfaces are finished correctly from day one.

Our painting process

1. Protect floors, steps, balustrades, and nearby rooms
2. Patch and smooth defects, then dust control cleaning
3. Prime repaired areas and stain block if required
4. Apply two finish coats with even coverage and neat edges
5. Final inspection under strong light and touch ups

How the Project Runs

We keep the job organised because staircases affect access throughout the home. After a site visit or detailed measurements, we confirm the scope, materials, and schedule. We discuss safety and access, including whether sections of the staircase need to be temporarily restricted while adhesives cure or paint dries.

• Clear planning for sequencing construction, tiling, then painting
• Dust and protection to keep adjacent rooms cleaner
• Reliable timelines with realistic drying and curing times
• Finish details like crisp corners, aligned grout lines, and protected edges

If you want an internal staircase that feels solid underfoot and looks finished from every angle, we can handle the full build, tile installation, and painting with careful preparation and professional results.
