Whether it’s in your hallway or forms part of your living room, your staircase is usually the first thing people see when they enter your home. Yet, despite this it is often the only part of your home that fails to get that much needed makeover.
To Rebuild or Renovate, that is the question!
Once recalled by world renowned author Roald Dahl ‘I do have a blurred memory of sitting on the stairs and trying to tie my shoelaces, but that is all that comes back to me of school itself.’
At the time, staircases may not be in the forefront of our memories but looking back everyone can remember the stairs that the raced down in the mornings and ambled up at night. Or even whether it was where we chased our slinky toys or talked on the phone each evening to our first loves, they are more than just a means of transporting ourselves between the floors of our home.

Why choose a family business?
Here at Abbott-Wade, we are proud to be a family run business and we like to deal with other family-run businesses where we can. Why? Because we know first hand of the benefits of being a family-run business. We understand that everybody takes accountability and has to pull their weight; there are no personal agendas and everybody looks after each other. When it’s in everybody’s best interest to ensure that every job is done well; where they all have a responsibility to each other to ensure that standards are maintained and the reputation of the company is upheld; you know that you are going to receive the best possible outcome! These things can only happen when you have a team comprised of more than just ‘employees’.

Our 10mm toughened Pilkington glass ensures that not only will your glass balustrade look stunning, but you can be assured that you have a safe and strong installation in your home.
