Stairs and bannisters: what the job involves

Repairing or replacing a staircase and its balustrade: fixing creaking treads, replacing spindles, newels and handrails, cladding old stairs in oak, or making and fitting a new stairs. A staircase changed or replaced must meet the Building Regulations on steepness, headroom and guarding.

How long it takes: Usually a day for creaking treads or new spindles, two or three days for a full new balustrade, and several days for a new staircase after a workshop lead time.

What affects the price

  • Repair, new balustrade, cladding or a complete new staircase
  • Material: pine, oak, glass or metal
  • Turns, winders, half-landings and the number of newels
  • Access underneath to fix creaks properly
  • Finishing: oiled, lacquered or painted
  • Making good to walls, ceilings and floors
  • VAT: building work on a home is charged at the reduced rate of 13.5% by a VAT-registered business — unless the materials come to more than two-thirds of the price, when Revenue’s two-thirds rule applies the goods rate to the whole job. Ask whether a quote includes VAT.

What to ask before you choose

  • Can I see photographs of similar finished work?
  • Are materials included, and to what specification?
  • Who removes the old doors, units or offcuts?
  • For a garden room: does it fall within the planning exemption as designed?
  • Is VAT included?
