Staircases

Dark Staircase Timber Restoration

A tired, heavily stained staircase was carefully restored to give the hallway a lighter, cleaner starting point for its next finish. Birmingham Sandblasting used controlled, low-impact surface preparation to lift the aged coating and scuffing while retaining the character and detail of the timber joinery.

What was needed

How the surface was prepared.

The staircase and associated timber details were protected with thorough masking and containment before the dark finish and worn surface marks were gently removed. The work exposed a consistent, clean timber surface ready for final hand sanding and the client’s chosen decorative finish, without relying on aggressive abrasion that could damage edges or profiles.
