A balustrade is a guard, it has to resist a person falling against it, not just look solid. Rise and going have to be consistent across a flight, because inconsistent steps are how people fall. And the whole assembly is used thousands of times a year, so loose fixings work looser rather than settling. ### What's included - New staircase installation - Handrails and newel posts - Spindles and balustrades - Stair repairs and creak remediation - Cladding and refurbishment of existing stairs ### Why customers choose us for this Safe fixings first Balustrades and handrails fitted to take real weight, not just to look right. Fitted around your household Work sequenced so the stairs stay usable wherever it is practical. Guaranteed workmanship 12-month workmanship guarantee on our installation. Call 07901 993084Request a free estimate What it costs to leave it ## What happens when this work is put off A staircase defect is the one repair worth not deferring, because the failure mode is somebody falling. ### A loose balustrade is a guard that will not guard Handrails and spindles that move under hand pressure will not hold a person's weight at the moment they need to. That is the whole purpose of the component. ### Loose treads get worse every single day Every use of a creaking, flexing tread works the fixing and the wedges further loose. This is one of the few defects that measurably deteriorates on a daily cycle. ### Inconsistent steps cause trips A tread that is even slightly out of step with the others catches people, particularly on the way down and particularly at night. ### A dated or damaged flight drags the whole hall down The staircase is the first thing anybody sees in most houses. Repairs done badly are visible from the front door. ### Common mistakes we are called in to correct - Screwing a moving handrail tighter instead of finding why the newel post is loose - Replacing spindles without checking the spacing between them - Cladding over treads and risers that are already flexing - Using decorative fixings where structural ones are required - Filling and painting creaks rather than re-wedging and re-fixing from underneath Our process ## How the job runs from first call to guarantee 01 ### Your call and initial questions You ring 07901 993084 or send the estimate form. We ask enough about the property, the scope and your timescale to know whether the job suits us and when we could realistically start. If it is not work we can do well, we say so at that point rather than after a wasted visit. 02 ### Free site visit and measure We come out and measure the actual space. Site visits are arranged as quickly as the size and complexity of the job allow, and they cost nothing. Measuring on site is what makes a fixed price possible, walls are rarely square, and photographs hide the details that change a price. 03 ### Options priced: repair, refurbish or replace We tell you honestly whether the flight is worth refurbishing or whether replacement is the better spend, and price the options in writing. Where the scope is clear the quotation is a fixed price. 04 ### Fitted, fixed and tested Components are fitted and fixed into structure, the balustrade is checked for movement under load, treads are re-wedged or replaced where needed, and the flight is left clean and, where practical, usable at the end of each day. 05 ### Handover, tidy-up and 12-month guarantee We walk the finished work with you, deal with anything you are not happy with there and then, and clear the site. Our workmanship is covered by a 12-month guarantee on issues arising directly from our installation. Full warranty terms are confirmed as part of your quotation. The benefits ## What you actually get for the money ### Fixings that take real load Newels and handrails fixed back to structure, so the balustrade resists weight rather than merely looking like it would. ### Creaks fixed at the cause Wedges, blocks and fixings dealt with from underneath where access allows, rather than surface-screwing the symptom. ### Consistent, safe steps Rise and going checked across the flight so there is no odd step waiting to catch someone. ### The stairs stay usable Work sequenced around your household so you are not cut off from the upstairs of your own house. ### A hall that looks finished Handrails, newels and spindles matched in profile and finished neatly, because this is the most-seen joinery in the house. ### 12-month workmanship guarantee Covers issues arising directly from our installation, with full terms confirmed in your quotation. In detail ## Materials, methods and variations of staircases Staircases are an assembly of parts, and knowing which part has failed is usually more valuable than the repair itself. ### Materials we work with Softwood strings, treads and risers The standard construction in most Scottish housing, usually intended to be carpeted or painted rather than shown as bare timber. Hardwood stair parts Oak and similar handrails, newel posts, caps and treads where the flight is being shown rather than covered. Spindles and balustrade components Timber, glass panel and metal spindle options, with spacing and fixing method as important as the style. Cladding and overlay systems Tread and riser overlays that upgrade the appearance of a sound flight without full replacement. Structural fixings and wedges Glued wedges, blocks and concealed fixings: the parts nobody sees that decide whether the stair is silent or noisy. ### Variations of this service New staircase installation A full flight fitted, including for loft and garage conversions, set out for consistent rise and going. Balustrade replacement Handrails, newel posts, base rails and spindles replaced as a set, which is usually the single biggest visual upgrade available to a hallway. Stair repairs and creak remediation Diagnosing and fixing movement in treads, risers and strings. Staircase refurbishment and cladding Upgrading the appearance of a structurally sound flight with new treads, risers or overlay. Under-stair alterations Opening up, enclosing or fitting out the space beneath the flight. ### Residential work Domestic stair work is planned around the fact that the household still needs to get upstairs. We sequence the work so the flight is usable wherever practical, keep the route protected, and clear up daily. ### Commercial work In commercial premises the priorities are durability under heavy traffic and keeping access available during trading, so work is programmed around opening hours and materials specified for the footfall the stair actually takes.
