Good price for staircase?

Hi Guys

Just a quick question. I am busy getting quotes for a staircase for my loft conversion. Not easy, as had a few no shows.

Anyway, I rang a particular company who right off the bat filled me with confidence (no sarcasm). They had the pricing nailed down to a T, could give me an estimated on time required, organised a guy to come out and check my measurements (and as he lived local he will pop out during their holiday) and all seems spot on. Plus they were recommended by a shop fitter friend of mine.

The price quotes was £720 +VAT. I don't buy staircases everyday, so thought someone on here could give me their views on whether this is a good price.

Price is for a double winder staircase, soft wood stringers, MDF risers and I think it was ply treads but can't remember. newal posts 90x90. No spindles or hand rail supplied. Supply only.

I think that sounds spot on.

What do you think?

Cheers

Sounds about right. Check prices on screwfix site to compare.
Who's gonna fit it though?

Looking around £650 on screwfix, but that's an off the peg that won't fit my scenario unfortunately.

I am going to get my shop fitter mate to fit it for me. I can tackle most things, but I will leave this to someone with some experience.

Sounds like a plan.

We recently had a staircase made, our house is old and has low ceilings so the standard size would not fit.

We got the wood delivered from a timber yard - they made the steps to fit - unfortunately steps were MDF, they just needed the edges rounding off (it saved on cost using mdf steps)

The total cost for the wood was approx £80 - £90 that is the sides and steps.
Then we got a handrail and spindles as it's an open staircase.

The joiner made a jig himself and routed in the recesses for the steps.
I was very lucky as he was charging £60 cash in hand a day and it was 2 and a half days from start to completion.

My father in law paid close to £1000 when he had a staircase made and fitted so I think I was very lucky.
