A 1.8m diameter Spiral Staircase we designed and built for a customer in Leicestershire. Its made from American White Oak with stainless steel spindles and a continuous curved Oak handrail.

This is a very special Spiral Staircase we designed for a client in Leicestershire. It's made from beautiful American Black Walnut and features a decorative, five-fold curved balustrading that wraps around the newel post at the bottom.

We were commissioned to design and build two spiral staircases to fit within an old Hosiery mill being converted into the Bond Street Gin Distillery and Bar in Hinckley, Leicestershire. This one is on the ground floor, and the photo below shows the second spiral staircase up into 'The Crows Nest'.

Another Oak Spiral Staircase with wrought iron spindles, powder coated black. This one was for a customer in Nottinghamshire and the central Oak column was oversized as it was designed to support the gallery landing above.
Frequently Asked Questions
A Spiral is a continuous arc that curves around a fixed central point. Imagine the thread of a screw which winds around the length of the central steel column, or in our case, a spiral staircases that winds around a central fixed pole.
The treads of Spiral staircases wind around a central pole or column, which is anchored at the bottom to the floor and at the top on the upper landing. The treads are triangular in shape, and have a circular hole at the narrow end. Each tread is threaded over the pole and separated from the next by a timber bobbin. The treads gradually wind around the pole until they reach the floor above.
Depending of the design, size and materials used, Spiral Staircases start from around £9,000 for a 1.8m diameter staircase, with Ash treads and wrought iron balustrading. You can also include a matching gallery landing into the design, if required.

In 2016, I was invited to tender for the manufacture and installation of a truly unique staircase designed by leading architects Sanie + Hopkins.
The project was an engineering marvel: solid stainless steel strings, 40mm thick and nearly 4m long, required absolute precision. To allow the solid Oak treads to be wedged onto them, the strings had to be perfectly straight; even a millimetre of deviation would have compromised the entire structure. It was a formidable challenge, but one we relished. I remain immensely proud to have contributed to what became a multi-award-winning project.

This client knew exactly what they wanted; a stunning helical staircase for a traditional farmhouse, made from American Black Walnut with white painted turned spindles. The continuous Walnut handrails have volute starters and wreath corners. They love their helical staircase so much it features every year, hung with Christmas decorations, on their Instagram page.
