The hallway is the first part of any home that a visitor sees, and everyone knows that first impressions count.
The staircase is the focal point of any hallway and Richard Burbidge have been Europe's leading supplier of beautiful stair balustrading for many years.
The products are fitted by many of the UK's leading house builders and are equally suited to a new build situation or refurbishment.
Traditionally, fitting staircase balustrading has always been a job for professional tradesmen, but a great deal of time and thought has been given to making the products easy to fit.
For DIY installation Richard Burbidge would recommend the Bracket Fix System
To further assist you, there are sections devoted to fitting, finishing, our performance guarantee and technical support services - free planning, technical helpline - in fact, anything we can do to make the installation of our products easier.
There is a wide range of styles and materials to choose from, and in order to make the choice a little easier we have given you six options to pick from.

Straight Handrail System - Traditional stair balustrading with newel post and cap, recommended for installation by professionals using mortice and tenon joints
Bracket Fix System - The mortice and tenon joints are replaced by a system of metal brackets, making this system particularly suited to DIY installation.
Continuous Handrail System - A classic alternative, featuring graceful sweeping handrails with the option of a volute at the bottom of the staircase. Professional installation only.
Designer Collection - For those looking for something really special. A range of the utmost quality, featuring a huge number of design and material options. Professional installation only.
Wall Mounted Handrails - For staircases between walls, a wall handrail is a necessity. However, with the choices that we can provide this need not be an unattractive option. Suitable for DIY or Trade installation.
Metal Balustrading - As an alternative to a completely timber balustrade, why not mix and match the designs of stylish black sandgrain finished metal balusters and team them with a choice of beautiful timber newels and handrails.
