Safe, modern staircases for a commercial property

The customer

Stevenage-based Synergy is an international property company offering construction and development services across commercial, residential, retail and hospitality sectors.

Alroys has worked with Synergy for several years. Our first job was to put right something supplied and installed by another contractor. The quality of our work and our solution-based approach, led to the customer inviting us to quote at the tender stage for future projects. Basically, it made sense for them to benefit from our ‘right first time philosophy’ for complete manufacture, supply and fit.

The brief

Synergy appointed Alroys to manufacture and install two powder-coated steel staircases with glass balustrades for a new office development. The two staircases gave access to the first floor but from different locations. One L-shape the other straight, both staircases needed an interim platform. The stringers for the staircases were clad in powder-coated aluminium, giving them a modern look and feel. Synergy also asked us to create an additional glass balustrade with handrail for the first floor balcony between the two staircases.

The project

As is common with these projects, we worked closely with both the customer’s architect and quantity surveyor, particularly at the concept stage of the project. We see it as our job to turn the customers’ vision into a reality, rather than come up with an approximate version. In this instance, we spent time designing the aluminium cladding, and sourcing the glass and fittings. We manufactured the staircases in our workshop, then assembled them on site before installing them.

The challenge

The wooden construction of the first floor was not capable of supporting the glass balustrade balcony. So, we designed spacer bars which we passed through the wooden floor, then fixed to the structural beam, thereby strengthening the whole framework.

The result

We created a structurally solid and aesthetically pleasing pair of staircases and glass balcony. The customer has always been very complimentary of Alroys:

“Alroys has always come up trumps on every project we’ve put their way. There’s never been a time when they’ve said they can’t do something; if it’s metal-related, they’re flexible and happy to work around our project requirements. I couldn’t ask anything more of Alroys… well, except to do the work for free!”
