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.
- Treads, stringers and newel posts strengthened or replaced where they have worked loose
- Handrails, spindles and balustrades refitted or replaced where they have come loose
- Carried out with dust extraction and floor protection

What dealing with us actually looks like
The same three-step shape whether it is a full renovation or a single loose tread.
01We look at it in person
A site visit to see the staircase itself, not a photo. Normally more than one, so nothing about the job is guessed before the quote is written.
02We agree what it needs
A written quote covering exactly what is being repaired or replaced, and the materials being used, before any work starts.
03We carry out the work and put it right if needed
Dust extraction and floor protection while we work, the site left tidy at the end of each day. If something is not right after we have finished, we come back and put it right.

Cover on every staircase job
Renovation or a new staircase: which one fits
Both are staircase jobs we do, and the right one depends on what is actually wrong with yours.
| Staircase renovation | New staircase | |
|---|---|---|
| Best suited to | A structure that is sound but worn, loose or dated | A staircase that has failed, or a layout that is changing |
| What stays | The existing frame, treads and stringers where they are sound | Nothing: the whole staircase is replaced |
| Disruption | Lower: most of the existing structure stays | Higher: the old staircase comes out first |
| Where cost lands | Priced on what needs repairing or replacing | Priced on the full new structure |

What a renovation covers
What is included depends on the staircase, but this is what we look at on every job.
Treads and risers
Worn, split or squeaking treads and risers strengthened or replaced.
Stringers and newel posts
The structural sides and posts made sound where they have worked loose.
Handrails and spindles
Replaced or refitted where they have come loose or no longer meet the height a customer wants.
Balustrades
Refitted or replaced and brought back to a solid fit.
Materials matched to the job
We only use materials we trust and can rely on, and explain why before they go in.
Site protection throughout
Dust extraction and floor protection as standard, tidied at the end of every day.
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.

Nick F.
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.
