A joiner looks like he has let me down on building me 2 new staircases and so i am trying to sort something out. Time is not a problem, but i just want to sort it all. I have bought all the newel posts and spindles etc from howdens and this joiner was going to use these neweel post and put them on the staircases.
Now i am thinking of ordering 2 straight flights off ebay and then get a joiner to put the newel posts on, on site.
Is it ok to do this or should it all be done when the stairs are being made ?
Does anyone know any joiners who make stairs here in York and will fit ?
I cannot use a york company as they are far too expensive and the joiner i had was from leeds.
All prices in york for the 2 staircases (6 and 7 steps) are pretty much the same so i realise they all charge the same prices irrespective of demand it seems. prices in mdf are £600-700.
Now on ebay i can get the same made in softwood for £300-400 (even less in mdf). So this is what i am aiming for. I know the fitting will take 2 days and i am happy to pay the daily rate, plus i want to help so i can learn what is going on. I have built my loft conversion pretty much myself so i know what i am doing.
