September 2010 South West Building & Construction 19 THE ENVIRONMENT
■ LAUNCHED more than 25 years ago in West Cornwall, Botrea Stairs have established themselves as a leader in the design and manufacture of bespoke staircases, using traditional skills combined with modern technology. The company continues to build on their reputation as a reliable supplier to businesses and private individuals.
In June this year, Derek Thomas
took over as general manager as the owners start to enjoy their retirement. The business was started by Bill East and Bill Padgeth in premises near St Just in 1983. As the company grew they moved to the current site at Higher Botrea. Originally working from farm
buildings, they soon outgrew the accommodation and in January 2007 the workforce moved into a purpose-built unit on the site. Computerised machinery was purchased and Botrea Stairs moved into the 21st Century using technology to assist the craftsmen in making a high quality commodity, built specifically to meet the needs of the customer.
■ DIRECTORS Mike Taylor and
Nick Guscott formed MRT Homes in 2006 after many years of working for timber frame companies across the South West region.
Their knowledge and experience has helped the business gain a reputation for providing an excellent service.
Based in the heart of rural Mid
Devon, MRT Homes has supplied and erected timber frame homes across the country. Not only can MRT Homes produce stunning self-build projects to clients’ specifications, its portfolio also includes a magnificent building for the Steiner School in South Devon, a series of flats and holiday homes, timber frame extensions to homes and renovations to farmhouses. MRT works with a network of skilled and trusted professionals - from roofers and plasterers to builders and electricians - to fulfil building projects. For more details, Tel: 01363 860161.

Makers of quality staircases since 1983
Botrea Stairs have been designing and manufacturing consistently high quality staircases, spiral staircases 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 that you choose a company for 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 staircase or a combination of wood, glass and stainless steel
Botrea Stairs can deliver all of these and more!
