A creaking staircase is usually a loose tread or worn wedge underneath, not a sign the whole thing needs replacing, and we’ll tell you honestly which repair actually fixes it rather than upselling a new staircase you don’t need. Where a full replacement is the right call, usually in older Leicester and Nottingham terraces where the original staircase has sagged or the pitch no longer meets current building regulations, we design and build a new one to fit the existing stairwell.
Work includes replacing individual treads and risers, refitting handrails and spindles to meet current regulations, box-in and understair storage, and full staircase installations in oak, pine or a painted softwood. We work to Building Regulations Part K on every staircase we fit, not just where it’s asked for.
A single tread or riser repair typically costs £150 to £300. A full staircase replacement, including handrail and spindles, usually runs from £2,500 to £4,500 depending on the timber and any bespoke elements. We can usually confirm an exact quote within a day of the first visit.
