Stairbox-Everything You Need To Know, From Designing to Installing. Builder Destroys His Own Home#12
In this episode we focus on the replacement staircase and the company that we always use for our staircases, Stairbox.
We show you how to measure, design and order a staircase from them and how we installed it once it arrived.
Thank you to Stairbox for supplying the staircase and also to James for his time and help.
The music in this episode is from the Epidemic music app.
Thank you for watching.

Well, that was the easiest college write-up I've done so far, just finished it now, and was made very easy with all the info packed in. Thanks for capturing Rich's explanations as they were handy to look back on, I deffo learned a lot that day. Thanks for facilitating the opportunity's as always Ad.

Haha! I forgot all about that one! I remember being so chuffed with myself when I had the idea, so silly isn't it! Cheers Andrew, hope you're well mate.
Some people might say " yeah he got it for free so of course everything worked out well" but I used stairbox for my dormer stairs a couple of years ago and they were great. I spent ages on the designer changing stuff because i had head height issues top and bottom and a top winder and it was great. Managed to get the stairs into a very precise area and the building inspector was more than happy. I even had the same delivery guy and he really is very helpful. It was my first attempt at fitting a stairs and it went in like a dream. Great series and a great channel, keep up the good work.👍

Hello Jeff. Thank you for your great comment, mate. To be totally honest we'd show it all if it didn't go well, because it'll probably be our fault! As mentioned I've used them a few times now so I know that if we'd messed up they'd do their best to help us out like they would for anyone else. Really appreciate your time watching mate, take care.
Rich is such a great teacher, anybody would be lucky to learn off him!

I've just fitted for a customer a Stairbox staircase with two 1/4 landings, oak newels and glass balustrades along with oak newels and glass balustrades for the landing. The quality was excellent and the delivery was exactly when they said it would be. Thoroughly recommend them.

Brilliant series. If im not mistaken the only 2 original features left, are the moulds at the bottom of the stairs and tiles under underneath. Well done STAIR BOX. Otherwise the moulds would have to go and that would have been a shame. 👍👍✌🇮🇪

@@mrabuilders6723 other than being old, I'm great 😃 I did wonder how you were going to turn the stairs around in the gap though, what if you didn't have the room at the top?
I bought a oak staircase with glass balustrades a couple of years ago, they where very competitive with there price and it went together and fitted perfect. The only downside to Stairbox is if you forget, say a newel cap the delivery cost was something like £40/50 but that was my mistake not theirs. Oh and all deliveries are on their vehicles which is always a good sign.

Interesting as usual. Looks a great service from Stairbox all round. When Rich mentioned the 22mm thickness I thought, hold on, I live in a 1920s house with floorboards so would want 18mm. There are probably a lot of old houses now needing new stairs so possibly a trick they are missing but only doing 22mm. As an aside, have you seen your star appearance in the recent warmflow video?

Haha! I have yes! Rather embarrassing really! Nice one for that! Yes I agree with you, there may be an option for a 18mm but it's also, with the right tools and know-how, it's really easy to rectify. Cheers mate, take care.

Can the stairs be fitted before screed
@mrabuilders6723
9 ай бұрын
In theory mate yes but you'll have to get absolutely everything bang on to the millimetre, if you get the height of the screed wrong then the first step will be a different height than the rest, which isn't ideal. If you can wait and do the screed first then that's the best way to do it.
