What this involves

What staircase renovation actually involves

Staircase renovation means working with the staircase that is already there rather than tearing it out: strengthening treads and stringers that have worked loose, replacing worn or split parts, and making handrails, spindles and balustrades sound again. It suits a staircase that creaks, feels unsafe, or simply looks tired, but where the structure underneath is worth keeping. We would rather not do a job than use the wrong materials for it, so every repair is matched to what is already there before anything is cut.

Pricing

What a staircase renovation costs

Every staircase is priced after a visit

A staircase renovation can mean tightening a handful of treads or replacing most of the structure, so a figure quoted without seeing it would not survive contact with the job. We visit, normally more than once, agree exactly what needs doing, and give a written quote before any work starts.

  • A site visit to see the staircase itself
  • A written quote covering the work and the materials
  • No work starts until you have agreed the quote

We would rather price it properly after seeing it than guess a figure that does not hold up.

Alex is fantastic, really diligent and a great guy to have help with a project. He has just laid a solid wooden floor for me. It looks brilliant. The trouble is I'm not sure it's such a great idea to give him a great review as it will make him even more popular and in demand

More about staircase renovation and refurbishment

A staircase renovation, sometimes called a staircase refurbishment or staircase makeover, is worth considering whenever the structure underneath is sound but the staircase has become worn, loose or unsafe to use. Rather than removing the staircase entirely, renovation works with what is there: tightening or replacing treads, stringers and newel posts, and bringing handrails, spindles and balustrades back into good order.

Staircase renovation cost depends on how much of the structure actually needs work, from a handful of loose treads to most of the staircase, which is why we visit and quote in writing rather than publish a single figure for every job. The design and materials are agreed with you before anything is cut.

Get in touch to arrange a visit, and we will tell you plainly what your staircase needs and what it will cost before any work starts.

Staircase renovation: questions we get asked

Phrased the way customers actually ask them.

How much does a staircase renovation cost?

It depends entirely on what needs repairing or replacing, from a few loose treads to most of the structure. We visit, agree what the job actually needs, and give you a written quote before any work starts.

What is the difference between staircase renovation and a new staircase?

Renovation keeps and repairs the structure you already have. A new staircase replaces it entirely. We can advise which fits once we have seen yours.

Can you fix squeaking or loose stairs without a full renovation?

Often, yes. A site visit tells us whether it is a small repair or something that needs more work, and the quote reflects exactly that.

Do you deal with handrails and spindles as well as the treads?

Yes. Handrails, spindles and balustrades can be repaired or replaced as part of a staircase renovation.
