How We Restore a Brighton Staircase
We inspect in person or by WhatsApp photos and provide a written fixed price before starting. No surprises.
Creaky treads tightened or screwed from below. Loose spindles re-glued and secured. Damaged sections replaced with matching timber.
Sand back to bare wood, fill screw holes and gaps, prime newel posts and handrail. Period profiles matched where possible.
Two coats of eggshell on balusters and handrail; hardwearing floor paint on treads. Or oil/varnish for bare wood. Your choice.
What Brighton Customers Say
"Lubos renovated our Victorian staircase — fixed every creaky tread, replaced the spindles, sanded and repainted the whole thing. Looks completely different. Exactly what we needed before selling."
— Claire M. — Preston Park, BN1
"Had retrofit stair treads fitted over our worn originals — much cheaper than full replacement and you'd never know. Clean work, no mess left behind. Really pleased."
— Pete & Ros H. — Poets Corner, BN3

Frequently Asked Questions — Staircases Brighton
How much does staircase renovation cost in Brighton?
A full staircase renovation (sanding, filling, painting treads and bannister) typically costs £300–£700 depending on the number of stairs and condition. Fixing a creaky step is £60–£120. Replacing spindles starts from £8–£15 per spindle fitted. We always provide a written quote before starting.
Can you fix creaky stairs without removing carpet?
Often yes. Many creaky stairs can be fixed by tightening blocks and wedges from the underside (if there is access) or by screwing through the tread from above. We assess the best approach for your staircase and advise before any work starts.
Do you match original spindles in period Brighton properties?
We do our best to source matching or sympathetic spindles for Victorian and Edwardian properties. Where an exact match isn't possible, we advise on the closest available option. For very distinctive period details, bespoke joinery may be the best solution.
How long does a staircase renovation take?
A standard Victorian terrace staircase — fix, sand, fill, and paint — typically takes two to three days including drying time. Replacement work (new treads, spindles, handrail) takes one to two days. We work around your household so the staircase remains usable overnight.
Do you do staircase renovations in Hove?
Yes — we cover all of Hove (BN3) for staircase renovation and repair, including Central Hove, Poets Corner, Hangleton, Aldrington, Portslade, and Brunswick Town. Hove's Edwardian flats and Victorian terraces typically have original turned spindles and wide treads that are well worth restoring rather than replacing. No call-out charge anywhere in Hove. Call 01273 044551 or WhatsApp a photo for a same-day quote.
What is a retrofit stair tread and how much does it cost in Brighton?
A retrofit stair tread is a new timber overlay fitted on top of a worn or damaged existing tread — the fastest and most cost-effective way to refresh Brighton staircase treads without full replacement. Typically £40–£80 per tread fitted, depending on timber grade and whether nosings are included. We assess and quote individually as part of a full staircase renovation or as a standalone job.
