Why local matters

Based in Bromley. Working across South East London and Kent.

Most steel companies quoting in this area drive in from the other side of London or up from the coast. We are in Bromley, which means surveys happen quickly, the fitting team is never far away, and if you want to change a handrail after you have seen the drawing, we can call in and talk it through.

Questions people ask

Before you ring, the answers you probably want.

Will my staircase or balcony need planning permission?

Often not for a rear staircase on a house, but balconies and anything on a listed house or inside a conservation area usually do. When we come to measure, we look at the planning side for your address, and if you need an application, we draw it up for you. For balconies, our answer on what a Bromley balcony application involves covers the fees and timings.

How long does a staircase take from order to fitting?

Once you approve the drawing, making, galvanising and powder coating normally take a few weeks. Fitting is usually a single day. We give you a date when you order and keep to it.

Is a galvanised finish enough, or do I need it painted?

Hot-dip galvanising protects the steel for decades on its own and looks fine as a silver-grey finish. Most customers add powder coating for colour, typically black, anthracite or a shade matched to windows and doors.

Can you replace a rotten timber staircase with steel?

Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs we do. We measure the existing stair, design the steel replacement on the old footprint or a larger one, remove the old one and fit the new one, usually in a day.

Do you work for landlords and managing agents?

Much of our work is fire escapes and access stairs for flats above shops, HMOs and small blocks. We provide drawings, a fixed price and a certificate of conformity for your file.

Where do you fit staircases?

We are based in Bromley and cover South East London, North Kent and the Surrey border, including Beckenham, Orpington, Chislehurst, West Wickham, Sidcup, Bexley, Croydon, Lewisham, Greenwich, Dulwich, Dartford, Sutton and inner South London.
