Bespoke Staircases
At Bishop Construction, we construct bespoke concrete staircases that unite strength, precision, and architectural beauty. Whether for a high-end residential property or a commercial development, our custom-built staircases are crafted to become a defining feature of your space — engineered for safety, durability, and seamless integration with the surrounding structure.
With decades of experience in reinforced concrete construction, our team delivers staircase solutions that are both functional and visually striking, working to the unique specifications and drawings provided by each client. We can also offer practical advice at the design stage to support efficient and safe construction.
What Are Bespoke Staircases?
A bespoke staircase is a custom-built structure created to suit a project’s exact dimensions, layout, and architectural vision. Unlike prefabricated or standard models, bespoke staircases provide complete freedom in form — from sweeping curves and floating treads to minimalist straight flights and dramatic helical shapes.
At Bishop Construction, we use reinforced concrete as the foundation of our staircases, offering exceptional strength and versatility. Concrete can be moulded into almost any form, making it ideal for contemporary structures, statement features, and elegant transitions between floors.
Our staircases can be finished with materials such as timber, stone, or metal balustrades, allowing for endless aesthetic possibilities while maintaining the inherent strength and longevity of reinforced concrete.
Types of Bespoke Concrete Staircases
Our expertise covers a wide variety of staircase styles and configurations, including:
• Straight flight staircases – simple, modern, and elegant for any setting
• Spiral and helical staircases – sculptural centrepieces offering visual impact and space efficiency
• Cantilevered staircases – minimalist floating structures with concealed support
• Split-flight and dog-leg staircases – functional structures suited to multi-level buildings
• Curved and feature staircases – distinctive forms that enhance interior or exterior architecture
Each staircase is constructed to meet the client’s specific requirements and engineered drawings — from practical functionality to bold architectural expression.
Why Choose Concrete for Bespoke Staircases?
Concrete provides an outstanding balance of strength, versatility, and longevity, making it a preferred material for bespoke staircase construction.
Key Benefits:
• Form flexibility – can be shaped into virtually any curve or profile
• Structural strength – ideal for long spans and cantilevered applications
• Fire resistance – naturally compliant with UK safety standards
• Acoustic performance – reduces vibration and sound transmission
• Durability – minimal maintenance and exceptional lifespan
When built by experts, a concrete staircase combines function and artistry — a permanent structure that enhances both the architecture and experience of a space.
Our Bespoke Staircase Services
We provide a full construction and installation service for bespoke staircases — delivering projects safely, efficiently, and to specification.
Planning and Coordination
We collaborate with architects, structural engineers, and clients to ensure that every staircase is constructed precisely to approved drawings and compliant with UK Building Regulations. Our team is available to provide technical input at the design stage where helpful.
Formwork Construction
Each staircase begins with expertly built formwork, carefully shaped to achieve the desired geometry and finish. Our skilled formwork specialists produce everything from minimalist straight flights to complex curved and helical forms.
Reinforcement and Concrete Pouring
We use high-strength reinforced concrete to construct robust, long-lasting staircases. Every pour is planned to achieve a smooth surface, accurate dimensions, and consistent quality, with careful curing to prevent cracks or imperfections.
Finishing and Detailing
Once the structure is complete, we prepare surfaces for final finishes such as polished or honed concrete, or cladding in marble, wood, or stone. We also incorporate balustrades, lighting channels, and tread details as required.
Installation and Integration
Our team oversees on-site delivery and installation, coordinating with other trades to ensure each staircase integrates seamlessly into the building’s structure. Every installation is completed to the highest professional and safety standards.
Why Choose Us
Sustainability and Innovation
Our staircases are constructed with sustainability in mind. We use low-carbon concrete mixes, recycled aggregates, and reusable formwork wherever possible. By combining efficient construction methods with forward-thinking design collaboration, we help clients achieve architectural impact while reducing environmental footprint.
