Full staircase refurbishments across Lincoln and 30 miles around. New treads, oak handrails, glass or spindle balustrades, creak repairs and period restoration. Solid underfoot and finished properly.
A staircase takes more punishment than any other piece of joinery in the house, and it is the first thing you see from the front door. I refurbish staircases end to end: treads and risers renewed or re-clad, balustrades rebuilt in oak with glass panels or traditional spindles, creaks cured while everything is open, and the whole flight finished so it reads as one piece of joinery rather than a patch-up.
Most of my work comes from word of mouth. Lincoln is a small enough city that bad jobs follow you around, so I treat every property as if my reputation depends on it. Because it does.
Every quote is line-by-line and fixed. You see the cost of every stage and every material before I lift a tool. No sliding scope, no surprise variations.
Every staircase job includes a free site visit, a written quote, the work itself with all materials and labour, certification where notifiable, and aftercare for any genuine issue with the work.
The detail, the materials, the sequencing. Six things that separate work that lasts from work that does not.
The existing flight stripped back and rebuilt: treads, risers, newels and balustrade renewed as one job, handed over ready for carpet, runner or paint.
Tired spindles and handrails replaced with oak newels, oak handrail and toughened glass panels, or kept traditional with turned spindles. Built to current guarding regulations.
Worn or split treads replaced, or the existing flight re-clad in oak for a solid-timber finish without a full rebuild. Nosings matched, movement fixed while it is open.
Loose treads, cracked strings, wobbly newels and worked-loose wedges fixed properly, from underneath where access allows, not just screwed down and hoped for.
Victorian and Edwardian flights repaired sympathetically. Original newels, spindles and mouldings kept or matched rather than ripped out.
Painting, staining and carpet or runner fitting sequenced into the job, so the staircase is handed over finished rather than left half-dressed.
A free site visit, honest advice, and a proper written quote. No pressure, no pitch. Just a straight answer from a tradesman who actually cares.
