A new client wanted some help making over her new home. The original stair handrail seemed to be homemade and fully panelled.
So, with a little persuasion, the old handrail was removed ready for the replacement.


The solid panel doors were a similar colour so had to go!
Here is a little tool I knocked up after managing to lock myself in a room just after fitting the new latch but just before fitting the handles!

And just to finish, this is one of my favourite tools. I found it at a car boot sale. It is a Starrett square with a blade marked in imperial units. Engraved on the blade is ‘H. E. Smart’, I have no idea who he was, but I hope he would be pleased that this was still being used…..

Staircase and door makeovers
Replacing a tired handrail and spindles, or swapping dated doors, can transform a hallway without major building work. I can help with:
- New handrails, spindles and newel posts
- Repairs to loose or wobbly banisters
- Replacing internal doors, handles and latches
Send me a photo of your stairs or doors to get an estimate.
