About us

Whether you're renovating an existing staircase or starting a new build, choosing the right stairparts supplier is an important part of the process. The products you select need to look good, perform well and be straightforward to install, but the supplier behind them matters just as much. Here are five things worth considering before you make your choice. 1. Quality That Lasts A staircase is one of the hardest-working features in a home, so quality should always come first. Well-made stairparts not only create a better finish but also make installation easier and are built to withstand everyday use. Richard Burbidge stairparts are manufactured using quality timber and engineered timber components, designed to provide strength, stability and a consistent finish across the range. Careful selection of materials helps ensure parts are reliable to work with and perform well once installed. 2. Practical Support When You Need It No two staircase projects are the same. Whether you're replacing a few components or designing a completely new staircase, having access to knowledgeable technical support can make the process much simpler. At Richard Burbidge, our team offer a free design service to help with product selection, quotations, parts lists and technical guidance, giving both trade professionals and homeowners the information they need to move their projects forward. 3. Clear Installation Guidance Good products should be backed up by clear, accessible information. Installation guides, fitting instructions and technical documents help take the guesswork out of fitting stairparts and can save valuable time on site. They're also a useful resource for DIY projects, helping to achieve the best possible finish. That's why we've made a wide range of technical downloads and fitting guides available through our online Resources hub. 4. A Range That Works Together Choosing stairparts from one supplier helps create a consistent finish and makes it easier to find components that work together. From traditional timber stairparts to contemporary glass and metal balustrades, refurbishment products and accessories (i.e cladding kits), having everything in one place means that your Stairparts suit both your home and your style without compromising on compatibility. 5. Strength Tested for Complete Peace of Mind When choosing a stairparts supplier, appearance and style are important, but safety should never be overlooked. Staircases are a key structural feature within the home and need to be capable of withstanding the demands of everyday use for years to come. For added peace of mind, it's worth selecting a supplier whose stair systems have been strength tested to meet relevant UK domestic building regulations. This provides reassurance that the products have been designed and tested to perform as intended, helping to ensure a safe and reliable staircase for homeowners and installers alike. At Richard Burbidge, our stair systems are strength tested to domestic regulatory requirements, giving confidence that our balustrade and stairpart solutions combine style with proven structural performance. 6. A Supplier You Can Rely On Experience counts when it comes to stairparts design and manufacture. Established suppliers understand the challenges of different projects and invest in the products, technical knowledge and customer support needed to help them run smoothly. It's also worth looking for manufacturers that demonstrate a commitment to responsible sourcing and recognised quality standards. With more than 150 years’ experience in timber design and manufacture, Richard Burbidge has supported both trade professionals and homeowners with stairparts and stair renovation solutions.
