Cost to fit a custom stair gate at top of stairs
Our standard pressure-fit gate doesn't fit the top of the stairs properly because of the angle. We need something custom built into the wall. What does a bespoke fitted stair gate usually cost?
Expert Trade Answers
"So for a neat, permanent solution, I’d budget around £300–£600 all-in.
One thing worth knowing: for the top of stairs, fitters and parenting forums consistently recommend a wall-fixed gate rather than pressure-fit, because pressure bars can become a trip hazard or loosen over time."
