FAQs
Staircase renovation: your questions answered
Is it cheaper to renovate or replace a staircase?
Renovation is usually less disruptive and often better value, as the main structure stays in place. Replacement makes sense when the stairs are damaged, unsafe or the layout needs to change.
Can a creaky staircase be fixed?
Usually. Creaks often come from loose treads, worn wedges or gaps between treads and risers. Access from underneath makes repairs easier.
Do new balustrades need to meet regulations?
New staircases and major alterations should follow Building Regulations guidance on spindle gaps and handrail height. It is sensible to follow it on renovations too, for safety.
