When it comes to choosing a new staircase, especially one that’s bespoke, design-led, and made from high-quality materials, it can sometimes feel like you have to pick between craftsmanship and cost. But there’s another option that offers both: the supply-only staircase.
At Metal Staircase Co, our approach is simple. We design and manufacture precision-engineered staircases in kit form, ready to be assembled on-site. Whether that’s by a builder, contractor, or confident self-installer. And while this supply-only model may not suit everyone, for many of our customers, it’s the ideal solution.
Here’s why.
What is a Supply-Only Staircase?
A supply-only staircase is exactly what it sounds like: you get everything you need to assemble your staircase, without an installation team attached.
But that doesn’t mean you’re left to figure things out on your own.
At Metal Staircase Co, we:
- Provide full technical drawings and detailed installation instructions
- Offer design support at every stage, from first concept to final sign-off
- Work closely with builders, architects, and homeowners to make sure everything fits, works, and looks exactly as intended
- Can even offer site surveys or measurement support, depending on your needs
Our staircases arrive in precision-engineered kit form, often described as a beautifully refined version of a Meccano set - complete with all parts, fixings, and layout guides. It’s smart, simple, and avoids unnecessary site disruption.
Who is a Supply-Only Staircase For?
This model works brilliantly for:
Builders & Developers
- You already have trades on-site who can follow plans and work to spec
- You’re used to coordinating joinery and installation around your project schedule
- A supply-only model allows for better control of costs and timelines
DIY Confident Homeowners
- You’re renovating or self-building and feel comfortable managing elements of the project
- You’ve got the right tools (or know someone who does)
- You want high-end design without the markup that often comes with full-service installation
Our kits are designed to be as intuitive and fuss-free as possible, with detailed drawings, clear fixings, and our team on hand to guide you through it. If you’re confident working with your hands (or have a handy friend), a supply-only staircase can be a brilliant way to bring designer-level quality into your home, without the designer-level budget.
Architects & Interior Designers
- You want flexibility to integrate a staircase into a wider design concept
- You need clean lines, precise detailing, and no compromise on materials
- You’re looking for a supplier who gets the architectural vision and delivers it
