Amazing yet again stairfurb…

This is my second time using stairfurb and they never miss a beat. Their website is so easy to use and they are very communicative right from the start helping to ensure you get the right measurements. Delivery was on time and handled with care and then it was the simple job of out with the old and in with the new. So easy to fit and look amazing!
Thanks Stairfurb

Matt Field of F & H Installation

I’m very pleased with my experience with Stairfub. The transaction was smooth from start to finish, and delivery was prompt and well-handled. The balustrade kit itself is great quality and exactly what I was looking for.

They recommended Matt Field of F & H Installation for the fitting, and I’m really glad they did. Matt was professional, friendly, and very accommodating throughout the entire process. From the initial measurements to the installation and aftercare advice, everything was handled with care and attention to detail. The final result looks fantastic.

I’m very happy with both Stairfub and Matt’s work, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use Matt again in the future. I’ll certainly be recommending him to others.

From placing the order to delivery

From placing the order to delivery, the service I received was first class. The quality of the staircase was excellent, a very high standard. I would recommend StairFurb to anyone looking to replace their staircase.

We wanted to update our typical 1970s…

We wanted to update our typical 1970s white stair bannister, but the cost of employing a carpenter to complete the job was huge. I happened upon Stairfurb while researching the price of an oak balustrade with embedded glass and couldn’t believe how simple it all seemed. We booked a video call and were helped enormously with measuring the existing bannister and choosing our preferred style, before receiving a quote. What would have cost over £4k with a company was only going to be £1600! Once we were ready, we asked for a further video call, as we realised that one of our newel posts wasn’t plumb, so getting an accurate angle reading was tricky. Will called us and was so helpful. With everything measured, we signed off the order. I then decided I wanted to add stringer cladding to finish the overall look. Again, Will was quick to sort this out and add it to the original order. The parts arrived just over two weeks later and we were delighted with the quality of the oak. The fitting was done by ourselves and took around 4.5 hours, making sure everything was checked carefully before each step. The online videos and guides were extremely useful too. Overall, we are thrilled with our new stair bannister with embedded glass. Our home has been modernised and feels light and airy. I would thoroughly recommend Stairfurb to anyone who is considering replacing their bannisters. Just read everything twice, watch the instructional videos and measure carefully to avoid any pitfalls. Thank you Stairfurb!

Thanks Roseleen. We can't see any information in our system regarding the glass being short. We'd like to learn more to see what's happened if you'd be kind enough to get in touch.

Very happy with new glass balustrades

Glad we used StairFurb for our new glass balustrades. They look great. Fairly easy to communicate and order, I liked that we could communicate on WhatsApp, though was pleased I could speak to a human when AI wasn’t able to help me further. Fraser and Jamie were really helpful and a pleasure. Glad we used one of their listed fitters EHS; Dave did a great job, really knew his stuff and was a pleasure to deal with and have in your home. Price was ok, similar to other quotes and they really do look great and modernize the landing. We recommend StairFurb 👍

Embedded glass rail.

The order process was fairly straight forward although you are talking to an AI on WhatsApp. A few discrepancies with measurements but this was quickly sorted with emails. Delivery day came and the courier was perfect. When unpacking found the newel posts and baserails to be damaged. Fitted the product successfully with a few amendments. Newel post turned up without a locating spigot (be careful of what you order for what you need) the newel posts come in different arrangements. Paid a separate company to correct. (Problem with online ordering I’m guessing) The fitted product is ok. When contacting the company due to the damage and paint discrepancies the offer was for a pot of paint to be sent and blaming the courier company. Not sure how they can be blamed for a product that they deliver and not prepare. The issues we have are the manufacturing process. Due to the company disregarding the issues and problems we would not recommend. You expect a high quality product for the cost you pay. Rather than a blame game. After sales is not good. Lots of remedial work to correct unfortunately.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that your order process and delivery went smoothly, and that the installation was completed successfully. However, we are sorry that your experience did not fully meet expectations.

To clarify the situation, upon receiving your initial message about the damaged items, we promptly sent the below email offering two options to resolve the issue. The first being a full remake and exchange of the affected parts, and the second a quicker remedy using a touch-up kit:

“Good afternoon Sam,

Thank you for your message and I am sorry to see you have had some issues with your items being damaged in transit. I am of course more than happy to assist you in rectifying the situation. I have 2 options that I believe will resolve the issue.

The first is we can remake your post and exchange when we deliver. Speaking with our production manager the earliest I could hope to have you post back to you would be next week.

Alternatively, I can send you a pot of black touch up paint out in the post which we will send via Royal Mail and will be with you in the next day or two.

Please let me know which option you would prefer and I will be more than happy to get everything in motion on our side.”

Unfortunately, we did not receive a response to confirm which option you wished to proceed with. Both offers were made in good faith and in line with our policy to ensure customers receive a satisfactory resolution as quickly as possible.

All our products are thoroughly checked prior to dispatch, and any issues reported after delivery are always handled transparently. In this instance, we feel the solutions provided were reasonable and demonstrated our willingness to assist.

As a small, family run business, we take great pride in the quality of our products and service. Reviews that misrepresent the facts or overlook the efforts made to resolve an issue can be very damaging to our business and, by extension, to the hardworking team behind it. We hope this response provides a clearer reflection of the steps we took to help.

All sales and no service.

All sales and no service.
I saw the ads on Facebook and enquired.
I started receiving the suspicious "50% off" texts the same day and in fact most days since.
Totally gave up on the online configurator as it is clunky and difficult to get exactly what you want.
So I opted for the video call and booked an appointment, and still receiving the "50% off must end tonight" bs
The call came in and I didn't get to my phone within the four rings so missed it. Then I read the text that landed five minutes before the appointment telling me I needed to install 'Google Meet' app.
Whilst trying to install the app on my phone the sales expert called me back with a snotty attitude telling me this wasn't just a phone call it was a meeting. For me that was the last straw. I deleted him followed by the Google App. and still the 50% off today texts litter my phone.
I was genuinely amazed to see the percentage of positive reviews on here and to be honest I'm suspicious of reviews that sound like like adverts simply saying everything was amazing and repeating company sales bullet points.
My advice is to contact a local joinery manufacturer and not a hard sell internet based company like this and definitely read the negative reviews because they don't lie.
By the way I am a self employed carpenter since 1986 and before retiring used to supply the balustrades to photographers for Richard Burbidge stair parts catalogues so slightly up the DIY scale and even I found them awkward to deal with, rude and definitely sales driven.

Update:
Please read the sarcastic smug response below. No I didn’t use you, for the reasons described! And yes I mainly only report bad service as I expect a decent service from companies which is generally true. It’s just the hard sell bad companies that need exposing. I’m not surprised you can’t see your faults.

Update: When you didn't join the video call appointment you booked, I called to see if you would be attending and if you needed any assistance accessing the call. This was the first phone call you had had with our company. When you answered the phone and I said "Hello, it's Matt from StairFurb here", your response was "Oh, yes. Hello. I was just looking for where I could leave you a bad review to say how rubbish your company is." This is a direct copy from the call transcript. For you to then make negative comments about "snotty attitude" amazes me. When you continued bashing our company, I said, "I'm sorry Alan. I just want to make you aware that nobody is forcing you to deal with our business. If you would like to order elsewhere, you are more than welcome to." - I'm not sure this fits in with your comments about us being a hard sales-pushing company.

Alan. This is now a direct message to YOU - We are an online business, as we sell products through our website. However, behind the website is a small family-run business and a team of dedicated, hardworking individuals who do their very best to run the best business possible and provide the very best DIY solution for people wanting to renovate their staircase. The way you initiated the conversation on the phone was very rude, and I can't imagine you would walk into a show or a showroom and speak to people face-to-face like that. You should be aware that online companies aren't all scams, most are run by dedicated teams of real HUMANS who deserve to be spoken to with some level of respect. To suggest that we would falsify any reviews is outrageous and totally unsupported. If you go around initiating conversations the way you did with me, then leaving negative reviews online for businesses like ours, that work tirelessly to ensure that they sell the best possible product and provide the best service possible to their customers, you really need to take a look at yourself. One-star reviews can have a really detrimental effect on small online businesses, and the people that work so hard within them, so to leave them for companies that you haven't really experienced the service from, especially when you act like you did on the only phone call you had with us, is a careless and empty act.


Hi Alan, we're sorry to hear you're not happy, but it doesn't seem as though you've used our service, nor purchased any products, so we feel your feedback and service review is a little unjustified and not a true reflection of what StairFurb customers can expect.
You've made an enquiry with us online and we've kept you informed of promotional periods. This is normal in 2025, and you can opt out of marketing communications.
You've booked a video call with one of our team (for us to provide you with service advice) but didn't have the app downloaded to start the call - so we called to make sure you were still planning to attend (which we would consider to be courtesy).
All perfectly normal so far, but that's not your perception of things.
From that point you've not given us opportunity to provide service at all, which is a shame as we're confident we'd have been able to help you.
We understand some customers simply can't be pleased, despite our best efforts, but in this case we weren't given an opportunity to try and help.
On looking at your Trustpilot account it's clear you're often very unhappy with the service you receive, there's plenty of 1* service reviews in your history.
We're genuinely sorry to have been added to your long list of negative feedback reviews. We do hope you find what you're looking for though.
Sadly for us, your review has a lasting impact on our business and employees. We'd ask you to consider removing it given you didn't actually recieve any service from us or purchase any items; but we understand that's probably not something you'd do.

Stairfurb made this whole procedure so…

Stairfurb made this whole procedure so easy. It took around 1 month from enquiry to installation. An on-line meeting assured correct measurements and our particular requirements. We were sent a digital protractor quickly and sent the measurement to Stairfurb. Stairfurb provided a few installers' details and we had the delivery arranged within a month. The courier rang us, as promised and arrived on time. The delivery to our garage was totally painless. I video'd everything so that I might get paid by Stairfurb for the video. The installer arrived and completed the whole procedure in a day. The increase in light in our stairs are is huge. No more damaged wooden stair rods repainted 4 times. No more wiping away dust from the wooden rods. The glass is easy to maintain. We probably wipe it every few months, so definitely less housework. I wish we had had Stairfurb installed earlier.

So far really good service and from ordering to receiving my item I have had a smooth time of it, the cost was reasonable and the delivery lead time to
Scotland was fair , I think that stairfurb are great I haven't had any issues getting in touch with them
With any query's James was able to answer for me the product consultation video process is ideal as you can actually show them what you mean I felt the staff are experienced we never felt like it was hard trying to show and tell what we were looking for everything was easy, I really recommend giving them a try I think they have options to suit all budgets as well and the fact it's a DIY job that we are doing so being able you to buy the specific sizes and products to fit and do yourself is really great 😊 not having to worry about anything just giving sizes and ordering it with them then leaving the rest to them is great it's been a no fuss easy purchase so far honestly really please I will post pictures once my husband has finished thanks 😊

Seamless service, perfect product

The company were great at checking the measurements, informing us of when the product was ready and the delivery options.
We particularly liked the text communication and the signposting to the videos that helped us to fit our bannisters ourselves. The product is solid, of a high standard and looks great on our stairway. We would highly recommend the company.

Wow! Amazing!

First time using this company and they were great from start to finish! I contacted them on WhatsApp via the website, had a video call and ensured my measurements were accurate. Within 3 weeks the new bannister arrived and I assembled it! It looks so good! Lots of nice feedback from friends and family. The wood is solid oak also and not cheap MDF. The price was excellent and the kit was very high quality with simple “how to” instructions! I’d highly recommend them. Well done StairFurb team!

Great quality

I booked an appointment to have a video call
The call came at my chosen time
We were talked through all the measurements required
We placed the order and given a guide when delivery will be.
The delivery arrived all protected and was such great quality.
The tutorial video is so easy to understand.
From delivery to complete installation just myself to fit it was 3 hours 30 minutes I wasn’t rushing.
