Staircase cladding, shaped around your home.
We clad your existing staircase in solid oak, black metal or glass — a complete transformation without ripping anything out. Your hallway, reimagined.
Real staircases. Real homes. No showroom mock-ups.
Every photo on this site is a job we've actually completed — measured, cut and fitted by us, in homes across Wales.
Three ways to reclad your staircase
Every cladding job starts with your existing staircase — we design the finish around it, not the other way round.
A completely new staircase, without the rebuild.
Cladding reimagines your home's existing staircase structure — treads, risers, spindles and handrail are covered or replaced in your chosen finish, without removing the staircase itself.
That means no structural work, no skip on the drive, and in most cases no building regulations approval needed — just a complete transformation in a matter of days.
Every material tells a different story
The right cladding changes how an entire hallway feels — not just how the staircase looks.
Glass
Sleek glass balustrades don't just make your staircase feel bigger — they let light travel through the whole stairwell.

Reviews from recent projects
"Can't thank Dylan enough for my doors and stairs, fantastic work, reliable, reasonably priced, and all round really nice guy. Couldn't of been more happy with the jobs he's done for me, thank you Dylan and team."
David Fagan · Google review"Great price. Hartwells stairs and carpentry took on this very difficult task and smashed it out of the park. Turned up on time, cleaned up and removed all of the debris. Great firm and can 100% recommend them. Thanks again for a fantastic job."
Paul Raymond · Google review"5 star service from Hartwells joinery & stairs. The modern look of the new glass staircase has made a massive improvement during our renovations. Look forward to using these guys for more renovation works."
