The service
A staircase that looks carved, not covered
Microcement stairs have a solid, sculptural look, as if the staircase was cast in one piece. Treads, risers and edges are finished by hand in the same joint-free coating as your floors, so the stairs become a natural extension of the room.
Because microcement is thin and can be applied over almost any sound existing surface, many staircases can be transformed without full replacement. Suitability depends on the structure and existing finish, which Allan assesses at the free site visit.
Allan Anderson owns the business and does every application himself, working with trusted joiners when stairs need structural or carpentry work first.
Who it's for
Homeowners with microcement floors, modern renovations, and commercial spaces with feature staircases.
When it's needed
When carpet is worn, stairs look dated, or you want the staircase to match new microcement floors.
Why use a specialist
Stairs have edges, nosings and heavy foot traffic. Precise hand finishing and correct sealing are essential.
What it costs to wait
Tired stairs undo a renovated home
You can modernise every room, but a worn or mismatched staircase is the first thing people see in a hallway.
Worn, dirty carpet
Stair carpet wears fastest on the nosings and holds dust and allergens.
A disjointed hallway
Stairs that don't match the floors break the flow of an otherwise modern home.
Costly replacement
Waiting until stairs need full replacement is far more disruptive than a surface transformation.
Common mistakes to avoid
- × Replacing a sound staircase when the surface could be transformed.
- × Choosing a finish without considering grip on treads.
- × Not matching stairs to adjacent floors.
- × Rushing edge and nosing work, which shows immediately.
- × Skipping sealing on a high-traffic surface.

In detail
Microcement stairs in detail
What's involved in microcement stairs for homes and businesses across Glasgow and West and Central Scotland.
Suitable staircases
Microcement can go over many sound existing stair surfaces. The staircase must be structurally firm. Where carpentry work is needed, Allan ties in with trusted joiners before the finish is applied.
Treads, risers and nosings
Each tread and riser is finished by hand. Nosings, the front edges of each step, are where precision matters most, as they're both highly visible and the most worn part of any staircase.
Grip and safety
Treads need a finish that suits safe everyday use. Texture and grip are discussed at the consultation and can be felt on sample boards.
Matching your floors
Most clients pair microcement stairs with microcement floors for a continuous look. See our microcement floors page for how the two work together.
Homes and commercial spaces
Microcement stairs suit modern homes across Glasgow, Bearsden, Newton Mearns and Stirling, as well as shops, offices and showrooms with feature staircases.
Living with the work
Stairs are a route through the home, so access during the project is planned at the site visit. Microcement is built up in layers with drying time between them, and Allan explains how the staircase will be used safely while the finish cures and how long to treat it gently afterwards.
Once sealed, a microcement staircase is simple to keep clean: regular sweeping and a damp mop with a suitable gentle cleaner keep it looking sharp. Allan gives clear aftercare advice at handover so the treads and nosings stay in good condition for years of daily use.

Working with Glasgow Microcement
What to expectfrom first call to handover
Glasgow Microcement LTD is owned and run by Allan Anderson, a specialist applicator of decorative finishes. There is no sales team and no subcontracting of the finish itself: the person who visits your property, measures up and talks through samples is the same person who applies your microcement stairs finish.
Allan is a fully approved Cimentart microcement applicator and a fully approved Infinity Effects spray granite applicator. Approval means the materials are applied the way the manufacturer intends: preparation, layering and protection all follow the system rather than shortcuts.
When a project needs more than a finish, such as a new shower, a moved sink, trimmed doors or boxed-in pipework, Allan ties in directly with trusted plumbers and joiners. You get one point of contact who plans the order of work, so trades are not left waiting on each other and nothing falls between the gaps.
Free, no-obligation site visit
Allan comes to your home or premises, checks the existing surfaces and explains honestly what is and is not suitable before any quote is agreed.
Physical sample boards
Colours and textures look different under Scottish daylight and your own lighting. Samples let you see and touch the finish where it will actually live.
A clear written quote
Every project is priced individually after the visit, so you know exactly what is included before you commit. No guide prices are given without seeing the job.
£3 million public liability insurance
Work is carried out with £3M public liability cover in place, for homes and commercial properties alike.
Planned working hours
Monday to Friday 7:30am–5pm and Saturday 8am–12pm. This is planned, booked work rather than an emergency call-out service.
