PVC Stringers Manchester

Flooring Solutions Ltd supplies and fits PVC stringers across Manchester and Greater Manchester for schools, offices, healthcare buildings and commercial premises. A PVC stringer is a flat PVC skirting or coving profile fixed along the sides of a staircase, giving stairs a clean, sealed and hard-wearing edge that is far easier to maintain than painted timber.

PVC Stringers

PVC Skirting is flat pvc skirting/coving, typically used to form an internal stringer to stairs. Ideal for use with textile floorcoverings and provides a low maintenance alternative to timber skirting.

What Are PVC Stringers Used For?

Stair stringers take constant knocks from feet, cleaning equipment and trolleys. Painted timber or plaster quickly chips and scuffs, while a PVC stringer resists impact, wipes clean and keeps the staircase looking finished for years. They are most often fitted alongside stair nosings and a new stair covering — whether that is safety vinyl, carpet or rubber — so that treads, risers, nosings and stringers form one coordinated, low-maintenance system.

Where We Fit PVC Stringers

• School and college staircases, where durability and hygiene matter most
• Office and communal stairwells in commercial buildings
• Healthcare and care settings that need easy-clean, sealed edges
• Leisure centres, hotels and public buildings

Our Installation Process

Every project starts with a free on-site survey from our Walkden base. We measure each flight, check the condition of the walls and existing stringers, and agree colours that work with your nosings and floor covering. On installation day, the substrate is prepared and made good, the PVC profile is cut and scribed to the stair profile, then adhered and finished neatly at every tread and riser junction. Stringers are usually fitted as part of a wider staircase refurbishment, so we programme the work to keep stairs out of use for as little time as possible — including out-of-hours and school-holiday working where needed.

Cost and Timescales

The cost of PVC stringers depends on the number and length of flights, the condition of the existing walls and whether the stringers are being fitted alongside new nosings and stair coverings. We provide a fixed, itemised quotation after our free survey so there are no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can PVC stringers be fitted to existing staircases?

Yes. In most cases we can fit PVC stringers to existing stairs as part of a refurbishment. Any loose or damaged plaster or timber is made good during preparation so the new profile bonds securely.

Do PVC stringers match stair nosings?

We can coordinate the stringer colour with your chosen stair nosings and floor covering so the whole staircase looks consistent.

Are PVC stringers easy to clean?

Yes. The smooth PVC surface can be wiped or mopped as part of normal cleaning, which is why they are popular in schools and healthcare settings.

Do you cover all of Greater Manchester?

Yes. We fit PVC stringers throughout Manchester, Salford, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport, Trafford and surrounding areas.
