External feature steel spiral staircase for a property in Essex
Spiral UK worked with DLS Fabrication Ltd to put together this fascinating external steel spiral staircase for a property in Southend, Essex.
Tasked with crafting the triple floor feature steel spiral staircase, Spiral UK took great pride in ensuring their designs and concepts were in keeping with the surrounding area and previous staircase structure before it.
David Scates of DLS fabrication commented “Spiral UK were easy to deal with, proactive and most importantly, on time and the works took the pre agreed duration, every part of the process was professional and transparent. The staircase is very good quality and all the residents are pleased and impressed with it.”
It was vital that the team at Spiral UK worked closely with DLS Fabrication to bring this staircase to fruition. The staircase was intended to serve 3 floors and consisted of open risers and durbar plated treads over a central column with a standard vertical upright balustrade and flat bar handrails with PVC capping to tie together a familiar design with a sophisticated, practical finish.
Installing this staircase required some time and attention from our design team, who needed to take in the additional factors of the buildings age and existing foundations, as well as being a demand on our installation teams working in a tight space.
Understanding these factors is the first, and arguably most crucial, step to take. Once our design team had understood the limitations and restrictions, they were able to pull from their extensive experience and skill for coming up with innovative design ideas to blend together a structure that perfectly suited its location as well as looking fantastic.

Bringing a fresh look to an old design.
This property in Southend, Essex, already had a pre-existing external spiral staircase that was being removed in order to make room for the installation of its new steel spiral staircase from Spiral UK, so care and consideration for the design had to be factored.
The famous saying ‘if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it’ certainly came into effect with the designing around this staircase. Though bringing a fresh look is vital to ensure a degree of change and refreshment to a project, it was also important that we kept some similarities to ensure the staircase fitted perfectly into its intended location.
The residents of the property in Essex were certainly eager to see what their new external spiral staircase was going to look like and were pleasantly appeased to see that the structure honed in on the traditional look and feel of its predecessor, whilst also having a new look, style and finish.
