Project Overview

This staircase renovation project involved a complete structural and aesthetic upgrade of an outdated stair system. The original staircase featured worn carpet, dated balustrades, and an old handrail that no longer met modern design standards.

🔨 Stage 1 – Strip-Out & Preparation

We carefully removed the existing carpet, underlay, and adhesive residue to expose the original timber treads. The staircase was thoroughly cleaned and prepared to ensure a solid foundation for the new installation.

📐 Stage 2 – Structural Improvements

New timber components were measured, cut, and fitted with precision. Using laser alignment tools, we ensured:

• Perfect handrail height compliance

• Accurate baluster spacing

• Solid fixing into structural points

• Seamless transitions at the landing

The newel posts were reinforced and reshaped where necessary to create clean, strong joints.

🪵 Stage 3 – Handrail & Balustrade Installation

A new solid timber handrail was installed, providing:

• Improved safety and stability

• A modern, clean-lined finish

• Enhanced durability

A wall-mounted support rail was also added for additional safety along the staircase rise.

Final Result

The staircase has been transformed from a worn, carpeted structure into a clean, structurally sound, and modern timber staircase ready for final finishing (painting or staining as required).

✔️ Improved safety
✔️ Stronger structural integrity
✔️ Clean architectural lines
✔️ Ready for decorating
