Staircases
A carefully restored open-tread timber staircase, refreshed by removing its heavy black coating while protecting the character of the ornate joinery. Gentle surface preparation brought definition back to the treads and exposed a warmer, more natural timber appearance ready for a considered finishing system.

What was needed
The work focused on the staircase’s painted timber components, including the open treads and detailed supporting joinery. The existing black finish was reduced with controlled, low-impact blasting and hand-finishing techniques suited to delicate interior woodwork, with attention paid to preserving edges, profiles and the natural grain rather than aggressively abrading the timber.
