Traditional staircase and handrail restoration across Surrey — careful repair, sanding, staining and protective finishing of treads, risers and balustrades to revive period homes and modern interiors.
Staircase & Handrail Restoration
How It Works
An on-site inspection identifies loose treads, worn nosing, balustrade play and finish deterioration. We provide a clear plan outlining repairs, finish options and timescales.
Why Choose Us For Staircase & Handrail Restoration?
Craftsmanship from a Family Business
Forty years of uninterrupted family experience means traditional techniques and meticulous attention to joinery and surface finish, ideal for period and bespoke staircases.
Bespoke Finish That Matches Your Home
We colour-match stains and choose finishes to suit the original timber and your interior — from mellow antique oak to contemporary dark-stained treads.
Comprehensive, Domestic-Focused Service
Repairs, refinishing and aftercare handled with minimal disruption to family life; staged work and dust control keep stairs usable where possible.
What we restore: treads and nosing, risers, balustrades, newel posts and surrounding trim. Work starts with a measured survey to assess structural soundness — loose treads, creaks, split tenons and worn nosings are repaired using traditional carpentry techniques and appropriate modern adhesives. Where required we consolidate soft or fragile timber, replace limited sections with matching stock, and ensure all joints are re-set to remove movement and noise.
Surface preparation and finishing focus on preserving patina while delivering a robust, attractive finish. We use a combination of machine and hand sanding to follow mouldings and spindle detail, then apply grain filling, staining and your chosen protective coat — traditional shellac/french polishing for period elegance or tough satin lacquers and oils for high-traffic areas. Typical scope includes:
- Careful dust-controlled sanding and spindle sander work for balustrades
- Colour-matched staining and grain filling to blend repairs
- Protective finishes selected for wear resistance and appearance
