Microcement / stairs

Every edge shapes the result.

On stairs, the structure, tread and riser geometry, connection to the landing and stability of the complete build-up are critical. We assess the likely scope from photographs and technical information.

Repeated geometry

One step is a detail. A complete flight is a system.

On stairs, detail is not an addition. It is most of the work.

We confirm the scope for the specific project.

Internal stairs

Consistent geometry brings order to the whole flight.

The area of the stairs does not describe the number of operations. Every tread, riser, corner, access point and neighbouring junction matters.

Treads and risers

We agree which planes are included and how they meet at the edge.

Use and repair

Stairs receive intensive use. We discuss care, the risk of mechanical damage and the limits of local repair.

Access and work sequence

Stairs often remain a circulation route. Access and protection of the finished surface affect organisation.

Geometry in motion

Stairs are read as a complete sequence.

The footage documents geometry and movement through a real interior. We confirm the proposed stair finish for the specific project.

Before we confirm the scope

What do we assess?

Photos are enough to begin. If they do not show the condition of the surface, we will explain what further verification is needed.

Structure

We assess the stability of the full build-up and its existing layers before accepting a thin finish.

Step geometry

Differences in height, width and level affect preparation and the final rhythm of the stairs.

Edges

Every edge needs a decision about geometry, finish and protection during other work.

Landing and junctions

Connections to the floor, wall, balustrade and landing are considered as one system.

Project-specific quote

What changes the scope of the stairs?

Area alone does not show the condition of the substrate, the number of details or the organisation required on site.

  • number and geometry of steps
  • condition of the structure
  • edges and junctions
  • access and organisation of the work

How the collaboration works

From the geometry of the flight to handover.

Every step repeats decisions about the edge, junction and access needed to complete the work.

See the full process
01

Initial review

You send photos, approximate area, location, substrate information and preferred timing.

02

Reviewing the conditions

We review visible risks and decide whether further information or a site visit is needed.

03

Application

We complete the system stages and check the agreed critical details.

04

Handover and care

We complete the agreed work and provide information on correct use and care.

No shortcuts

Frequently asked questions.

Is microcement suitable for stairs?

It can be considered for internal stairs after assessing the structure, geometry, edges and intended use.

Does every step need to be even?

Differences in geometry must be understood before work begins. The required corrections depend on the existing structure.

How are the edges finished?

The detail follows the geometry, substrate and agreed effect. Edges form part of the scope rather than a decision made at the end.

Can the stairs remain in use during the work?

Access depends on the work stages and site conditions. Circulation arrangements are agreed before work begins.

Can local damage be repaired?

The feasibility and visibility of a repair depend on its location, the surface character and the damage. We do not promise an invisible repair without an assessment.

What should I send for a stair quote?

Send photographs of the full flight, treads, risers, landing, junctions and balustrade, together with dimensions, location and preferred timing.

Initial assessment

Show us the stairs.

From photos and a short description, we will check whether we have enough to prepare a quote or need more information.
