A staircase is the one piece of joinery you see and touch every day. Crown Carpentry designs and builds bespoke timber staircases for homes across Jersey — new builds, full remodels, and tired existing flights that deserve a second life.
We design staircases that feel right under hand and foot. The tread depth, riser height, nosing profile and handrail shape all get drawn deliberately so the stair walks naturally and the geometry passes building control. Where a stair is being rebuilt in place, we survey carefully and engineer the new flight to drop into the existing void without ripping up the floor above.
Materials are usually oak, ash or walnut, depending on the look you want and the floor it has to live alongside. Treads can be solid timber or carpet-grade pine if you're planning to cover them. Balustrades are spindle, square-section steel, or frameless toughened glass with stainless fixings — chosen to match the architecture, not fight it.
Most of the build happens in the workshop. Strings, treads and risers are cut, sanded and pre-finished where possible, then trial-assembled before delivery. On site we fit the carriage, bed the treads, scribe the balustrade, and finish the handrail so the joint between newel and rail is one continuous line. Glass panels go in last, dry-fitted and adjusted until every reveal is even.
We've built tight winders into Jersey granite cottages, open-tread feature stairs in modern St Brelade builds, and full re-clads where the existing pine flight was sound but tired. Every staircase gets the same attention to detail, because it's the piece of work in the house people lean on for the longest.
