Our Professional Timber Staircase Installation Process

Every staircase project follows our proven 4-step process to ensure your new timber stairs are safe, level and beautifully finished.

01 Inspection, Measuring & Design

We begin with a detailed site inspection to measure the staircase, check structure and discuss your design preferences.
We look at timber species, tread profiles, nosings, riser style and balustrade options, then recommend a solution
that suits your home and complies with Melbourne building standards.

02 Substructure Preparation & Protection

A stable base is critical for a safe staircase. We prepare or adjust the existing structure where required,
confirm rise and going measurements, and protect surrounding walls and floors. Old coverings are removed,
and any damaged areas are repaired so the new timber treads can be securely fixed.

03 Timber Tread Installation & Fixing

Your selected timber treads and risers are carefully cut and installed to fit each step. We use professional
fixing methods to keep treads solid and quiet underfoot, paying special attention to nosings, edges and landings
for clean, consistent lines.

04 Sanding, Finishing & Final Walk-Through

Once installation is complete, we sand the new staircase for a smooth, even surface and apply durable coatings
suited to high-traffic areas. We then walk through the finished staircase with you, checking every tread, riser
and detail to ensure it meets Namu Floors’ quality standards and your expectations.

The Namu Floors Difference

We combine careful planning, precise installation and high-performance finishes to deliver timber staircases that look impressive and feel safe for years to come.

Safe & Code-Compliant

We design and install staircases in line with Australian standards, with consistent riser heights, nosings and handrail positions for everyday safety.

High-Traffic Durability

Hard-wearing coatings and quality timbers are chosen to handle daily use, pets and busy family life without quickly wearing out.

Seamless Floor Matching

We can match new staircase treads to your existing timber floors in colour, sheen and board width for a cohesive look throughout your home.

Minimal Disruption

Clear scheduling, tidy work practices and respect for your home mean you can keep living around the project with minimal interruption.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does timber staircase installation take?

Most timber staircase projects in Melbourne take around 2–4 days, depending on the complexity of the structure, number of steps and whether sanding and coating are included. We confirm a clear timeline before we start work.

Can you refinish my existing timber staircase instead of replacing it?

Yes. If the existing structure is sound, we can sand and refinish your current timber treads, repair damaged sections and apply new coatings to refresh the look without a full rebuild.

Can you match the staircase to my current timber floors?

In most cases, we can closely match timber species, stain colour and finish level so your staircase flows seamlessly with adjoining timber flooring.

Is it safe to use the staircase while you are working on it?

For safety reasons, we usually restrict access to the staircase during installation, sanding and coating. We plan the schedule with you in advance so you can arrange alternative access where possible.
