13. our ethic
At The Stone Staircase Company 80 per cent of our work is
with staircases, making us specialists in this area, with tools
– some even developed by us – designed specifically for the
job. We are the designers, engineers, and craftspeople – the
makers and fixers – of your staircase from start to finish.
Although we use modern technology, we still believe in
humans as masters of the process. Computers help us draw
our designs and engineering drawings but they are given
life by the hands and tools of the people who carve them,
allowing us to combine the knowledge and skills of the past
with the modern techniques of the future.
our services
We can offer a complete service from consultation, design,
models and engineering drawings through to carving,
construction and fixing of your staircase.
