FAQs – Stairs: Installation, Renovation and Repairs
Do you install new staircases?
Yes, where suitable. We can install new staircases (typically customer-supplied or specified as part of a project) and ensure accurate fitting and secure fixing.
Can you renovate an existing staircase without replacing it?
Often, yes. Many staircases can be upgraded by replacing specific parts and improving finishes, handrails, spindles and trims for a cleaner, updated look.
Can you fix squeaky stairs?

Do you repair loose handrails and spindles?
Yes. We repair and replace handrails, spindles and balustrade sections to improve safety and stability.
How long does stair renovation or repair take?
Timescales depend on the scope—minor repairs may be completed quickly, while renovations and part replacements take longer. We’ll confirm an accurate timeframe during quotation.
Can stair work be completed alongside new flooring?
Yes. Stair upgrades are often completed at the same time as new flooring so transitions, trims and finishes look consistent.
