Beautiful Staircases, Designed Around Your Home

A staircase should feel like it belongs, not like an afterthought.

Every staircase we install is individually designed to maximise space, provide comfortable access and blend perfectly with the existing style of your home. We carefully consider every detail, from the layout and handrails to the balustrades, newel posts and finishes.

Whether you prefer a classic oak staircase or a sleek modern design, we create staircases that are both stunning and fully compliant with current Building Regulations.

Staircases

A well-designed staircase is far more than a way to access your new loft. It becomes a permanent feature of your home, so it needs to be practical, safe and beautifully integrated with the existing layout. At Gemini Build & Design, we believe your new staircase should look as though it has always been part of your home, rather than something that has simply been added later.

Every staircase is individually designed to suit your property, ensuring the best possible use of space while maintaining comfortable access and complying with all current Building Regulations.

Designed Around Your Home

No two homes are the same, which is why every staircase we build is bespoke. We carefully consider:

  • The available floor space.

  • Headroom requirements.

  • The position of existing doors and windows.

  • The layout of the floor below.

  • The overall style of your home.

  • Natural light around the staircase.

Our aim is to create a staircase that feels open and inviting while minimising the impact on your existing living space.

Staircase Styles

We offer a wide range of staircase designs to complement both traditional and contemporary homes.

Traditional Staircases

Perfect for period and character properties, traditional staircases often feature:

  • Painted timber spindles

  • Turned newel posts

  • Solid oak handrails

  • Classic moulded details

  • Carpeted treads with painted stringers

These designs blend seamlessly into older homes while providing a timeless finish.

Contemporary Staircases

For modern homes or clients looking for a sleek finish, contemporary staircases can include:

  • Square newel posts

  • Glass balustrades

  • Oak or ash handrails

  • Clean, minimalist lines

  • Open and airy designs

  • Modern painted finishes

These styles help maximise light and create a luxurious feel throughout the home.

Oak Staircases

Oak remains one of the most popular choices due to its strength, durability and natural beauty.

Options include:

  • Fully solid oak staircases

  • Oak handrails

  • Oak newel caps

  • Oak spindles

  • Glass with oak framework

  • Natural, stained or lacquered finishes

Oak works equally well in both modern and traditional properties.

Glass Balustrades

Glass balustrades are becoming increasingly popular, particularly in loft conversions.

Benefits include:

  • Allow more natural light to flow through the staircase.

  • Create the feeling of more space.

  • Contemporary appearance.

  • Easy to clean.

  • Toughened safety glass for complete peace of mind.

They pair beautifully with oak handrails to create a premium finish.

Staircase Finishes

Every staircase can be tailored to your taste with a range of finishes, including:

  • White painted timber

  • Natural oak

  • Stained hardwood

  • Satin or matt lacquer

  • Feature handrails

  • Decorative newel posts

  • Modern square or traditional turned spindles

  • Glass panels

  • Carpet, wood or luxury vinyl flooring to the treads and landing

Space-Saving Designs

Loft conversions often require clever design to make the most of the available space.

Depending on your home, we can incorporate:

  • Quarter-turn staircases

  • Half-turn staircases

  • Winder staircases

  • Split-level landings

  • Feature staircases

  • Under-stair storage solutions

Each design is carefully planned to provide comfortable access while preserving as much of your existing floor space as possible.

Built to Building Regulations

Every staircase we install is designed and constructed to meet the latest UK Building Regulations.

This includes consideration of:

  • Pitch and rise of the stairs

  • Minimum headroom requirements

  • Handrail height

  • Balustrade spacing

  • Structural strength

  • Fire safety requirements

  • Safe access to the new loft floor

Our experienced team works closely with Building Control throughout the project, ensuring every staircase is fully compliant and built to the highest standards.

The Finishing Touch

Your staircase is one of the first things you'll see when entering your new loft conversion. That's why we take pride in every detail, from the first design sketches to the final coat of paint.

Whether you're looking for a classic timber staircase that blends perfectly with your existing home or a striking contemporary feature with oak and glass, we'll create a staircase that is as beautiful as it is practical.

“I chose Gemini for upgrading modifications to my bungalow, I did have the advantage of observing their previous work on my daughters house. I did the usual due diligence and received bids from other similar companies. Whilst other bids where similar they did not inspire the same confidence in their abilities, expediting, planning, experience and professionalism to the same level as Gemini. The Gemini workforce comprising of all required disciplines were hardworking, knowlegable and willing to listen to the customer and discuss ideas for changes/upgrades and even suggesting Ideas for improving elements of the build. The construction period was reasonable and met my personal requirements and completed on schedule”
