Traditional Staircases – Classic Designs, Crafted to Last

Traditional. Classic. Timeless. At Meer-End, we celebrate the beauty of time-honoured joinery with our bespoke traditional staircases. Whether you’re restoring a period property or adding character to a new build, our handcrafted staircase designs are made to complement traditional interiors with elegance and authenticity.

From richly grained traditional wooden staircases to decorative detailing and heritage-inspired finishes, every piece is a statement of lasting quality. With Traditional stairs you’re spoilt for choice: closed and cut string staircases in a variety of materials and finishes, with our own range of turnings or metal balusters. Plus balustrades with newels or fully continuous. Come and see us at our workshop to work through the choices and designs you prefer.

Craftsmanship Rooted in Tradition

We believe a traditional staircase should be as practical as it is beautiful. Using solid hardwoods and classic design principles, our expert craftsmen create staircases that pay tribute to historic architecture – while ensuring every detail meets today’s standards.

Popular options include:

  • Traditional Oak Staircases – durable, warm, and full of character
  • Georgian and Victorian-style turned balusters and newel posts
  • Elegant closed-string or cut-string designs
  • Bespoke handrails and detailing to match existing woodwork
  • Tapered or continuous handrails for a refined finish

Testimonials

Meer End have produced numerous items of all aspects of joinery for my family since 2010. The attention to detail and quality is second to none, a great team of joiners, site fitters and designers. An individual bespoke service in true British style.

Dawn Lodge M.R.I.C.S.Dawn Lodge Associates

I started my renovations just before covid so everything got delayed and prices went up. It has been a challenging renovation. Meer -End were one of my handful of amazing suppliers who did an excellent job and were extremely patient with my indecisiveness with designs. I had normal bespoke doors made for upstairs and pocket doors for all of downstairs, some extremely large. They are amazing and we get asked all the time who made them. I had my stairs made and my vision and design was created exactly. My most recent order was a huge beautiful oak front door with surround. Colin and Damian were my designers and main point of contact and they gave me an excellent service. The fitters who attended to do the fittings were extremely skilful, meticulous as well as polite and friendly and always on time. Extremely pleased. I would definitely recommend and will be using for further projects.

Sona JogiaExcellent Service and High End Quality

Meer End have designed, built and installed staircases on a number of our projects over the years. The quality of the materials and craftmanship of the finished products speak for themselves, but the care and attention to detail put into the design process by Meer End is equally as critical for achieving the best outcome. Discussions on layouts, details and materials were open and collaborative resulting in some fantastic, and complicated, designs being realised.

Nic RobinsonHayward Smart Architects

We really enjoy working with the team at Meer-End. Their technical knowledge and seemingly magical ability to take our designs and collaborate with us to create the very best results is impressive. Stunning end products, but more than that they genuinely care for our business and for our clients. You can be assured you are in safe hands.
