ILGAS – Stairs go up.
Humour goes left.
We build and refresh wooden stairs, handrails and finishes. A good way to get upstairs — and something to show off on the way.
Straight stairs. Crooked jokes.Where we put our hands to work
First we measure. Then we make something worth going up and down for.
Wooden stairs
Designed and fitted for your space. No mountaineering gear needed to reach the first floor.

If the stairs creak louder than the family, we should talk.

“Measure twice. A third time if the client is watching.”
A simple approach: solid construction, tidy finishing and no excuses dressed up as design features. The name is playful; the work is taken seriously.
- Stair making and installation

Frequently asked questions
What affects the price?
Size, construction, timber, railings, finish and installation conditions. A proposal follows a discussion of your project.
Which timber should I choose?
Appearance, use and budget guide the choice. Oak, ash and other options can be discussed before production.
Can old stairs be renovated?
Yes, subject to the condition of the structure. Photos help with the first assessment; some damage needs an on-site inspection.
Where do you work?
Travel is agreed for each project. Include the town in your enquiry so we can discuss availability.
