STAIRCASE  REFURBISHMENT

Handrails and Posts



A handrail can be one of the most striking features of any building. They are built from solid timber and often beautifully carved on the corners and turns. Although they are often the finest piece of woodwork in a building, they are generally overlooked and through bad finishing or wear and tear, blend into the background and go unnoticed. Our latest service product, is aimed at restoring this fine woodwork back to its former glory and at a small fraction of the replacement cost.



Because handrails are made from solid timber the price of replacement is large. On top of the timber, the labour costs can be very high, as it takes a specialist joiner to fit and carve each section of a handrail. The handrail will then still need to be finished. Restoring a handrail, rather than replacing it, is very cost effective

Restoring rather than renewing your handrail is also the environmentally friendly choice.

The Process

Our service offers a full strip and re-polish of your handrail, we provide free quotations for all work

First step we strip the old finish off, where ever possible using hand and machine sanding dust and debris are vacuumed away. We only ever use chemicals where strictly necessary Once the finish is removed we are returned to the bare timber beneath.



Second step We fill in splits cracks dents etc. then a final fine sanding of the surface.



Third step (if applicable) is to stain the handrail to the required colour. This is an important step, as our stain penetrates into the timber and allows the grain and figure to show through.



The final stage is the polishing, where we build up the handrail with many layers of finish , to achieve a beautiful finish our finishes can be taken to any sheen, matt, satin, or gloss
