Staircase Restoration

A staircase contains many individual elements: treads, risers, stringers, handrails, balusters and sometimes decorative metalwork. We assess the build and coatings as a whole before choosing a controlled process for the timber or metal involved.

The objective is to remove paint, varnish and accumulated grime evenly while retaining edges, turning details and the natural variation that make a period staircase distinctive.

Because staircases are central to everyday access, we discuss protection, safe routes and timing before work begins. Floors, walls and nearby rooms are covered, while dust-control measures help keep the project self-contained.

After stripping, we explain the best next step for the material and your preferred finish. That may mean allowing timber to settle before sealing, arranging staining, or priming metalwork for repainting.
