Staircase Renovation Versus Replacement
When to Renovate
When the structure is sound but individual elements have deteriorated. Replacing spindles, fitting a new handrail, replacing worn treads, or fixing creaking.
Cost Advantage
Renovation is considerably less expensive than replacement. In a period property, it often produces the better result by restoring what was already there.
When to Replace
When the structure is beyond economic repair, a new staircase is needed for an extension, or the client wants to change the configuration entirely.
Extensions and Loft Conversions
New staircases required where a loft conversion creates a new floor. We design and install, coordinating with the structural engineer. See our house extensions page.
We advise on renovation versus replacement at the survey visit.
Nottingham Properties: Staircase Character
The Park and Mapperley Park (Victorian)
The centrepiece of the entrance hall. Solid timber strings, turned newel posts, turned spindles, and timber handrail. Rarely need structural replacement. Renovation is the most common brief.
West Bridgford (1930s Semis)
Straight-flight closed-string staircase with square-section newel. Many have had pine spindles replaced with cheap softwood. Upgrading to oak spindles with matching handrail transforms these staircases.
Wollaton (1930s–60s Detached)
Larger properties may have more elaborate staircases. Split-level entrance halls where the staircase is the first thing a visitor sees.
New Build Properties
Replacing a chipboard-and-white-spindle staircase with oak treads, spindles, and handrail. One of our most popular briefs in Beeston, Clifton, and Long Eaton.
Creaking Treads
Treads can creak as timber dries or housing joints loosen. We secure treads from below where access permits. Otherwise, we refix from above with fixings covered by the tread nosing.
