Artisan wanted to renew stairs and other woodwork

[bazerd]

We have typical Maitre de Mason type house in the St Gauden, Barbazan, Luchon area which is being renovated and need new stairs plus other woodwork etc

The stairs have about 30 steps from the ground floor up to the Attic - has anyone had something similar done? If so any indication of cost please?

We  have a quotation from a local Artisan which is quite a lot more than we expected.

Can anyone recomend any good, reliable Artisans  - English speaking would be a good bonus!

 

Thanks in anticipation of any help.

oak? pine? chestnut? big difference in price,quality? good solid? cheap and chearfull?

ps im not after the job by the way

Thanks for the response.

 

On reflection the number of stairs is probably too high - more like 20-25. We have French Oak flooring so thst is preferred. We would like something that looks good and is substantial so not cheap and chearful. Another short term option would be to make good the eixisting stairs if the cost is too high for new ones.

 

Thanks again for the help.

Have a look on www.lapeyre.com for escaliers so that you can do a cost comparison.

22 step, 1/4 turn in oak, balustrade, spindles, all hand made, access hole enlarged, so all complete, just over 4k euros.

Lapeyre equivalent in oak 18oo euros but couldn't modify the turn and quality a little suspect. Not bad value for money if you can get it fit to your dimensions.

Thanks very much for the cost comparisons.They all make sense.

 

We have just returned from the house and can now add more information about the requirement.

The old staircase will need to be removed first and the new staircase we would now like will extend to the attic so it will have an additional turn and further steps.

So in total there is the demolition and removal of the old staircase, a ceiling area to be replaced including re-connection of a light fitting and a new oak staircase that will be 30 steps with  two turning points/platforms. All walls and plasterwork will need to be made good including some new plasterboard partitioning etc.

 

If anyone is interested in providing a quotation and would like obtain more information please let me know. 

 

Thanks again,
