Staircase Renovation in Chiswick and West London

Most of the staircase work we take on across West London falls into three jobs. A staircase renovation keeps the existing structure and changes what you see and feel: new treads and risers, fresh spindles and handrails, a newel post that matches the period of the house, then a sanded and finished surface in oak, paint or stain. A staircase refurbishment is lighter again, usually a sanding and refinishing job with any loose or split parts replaced along the way. A staircase repair deals with one fault: a creaking tread, a wobbly bannister, a cracked string or a spindle that has come loose.

Which one suits your hallway depends on the stairs rather than the postcode. Victorian and Edwardian flights in Chiswick, Hammersmith and Ealing are usually worth keeping and renovating, because the structure under the carpet is often sound. Post-war and converted properties in Acton, Shepherd’s Bush and Brentford more often need a section replaced or a new flight built to current building regulations. We survey the staircase first, say plainly which route makes sense, and put the agreed work in writing before anything starts.
