If you do need a bespoke staircase making up (which is common for an old

(straight) staircase to precisely my specifications, for 380 GBP incl VAT
and delivery.

That is quite a good price... Was that just a striaght staircase?

(I got various quotes for a staircase with a quarter wind top and bottom
and the cheapest was coming in at 800 ish, but that was without fitting.
In the end I built my own, but found that at least half the work was in
the fitting with that sort of stair)


oops !

I'm hoping mine will be a bit cheaper due to its being simpler and fitting
between two walls and will almost certainly be carpeted rather than
varnished - though I may go for real wood treads to allow for the vagaries
of taste ....
