Botrea Stairs have been designing and manufacturing consistently high quality staircases, spiral stairs and contempory balustrade for the construction and DIY market for over 26 years. Think of your staircase as a piece of furniture but it is one that you cannot move or change (easily) so it’s crucial you choose a company with experience and one you can trust: Often we can offer a design solution that may not be obvious but the options suggested may solve space, light or access issues. We can build new staircases or restore existing ones. We supply staircases for private individuals, builders, architects and design agencies. The cost can be surprisingly little, or as much as you want to spend. You may want to replace a straight short flight staircase, build a solid oak feature stair or a combination of wood, glass and stainless steel.
Botrea Stairs can deliver all of these and more!
