Oak Staircase & Cupboard Restoration

A period oak staircase and under-stairs cupboard were carefully refreshed to lift away the look of aged dark finishes while protecting the character of the original joinery. Gentle, controlled surface restoration brings the oak grain back into view, creating a lighter, warmer and more welcoming entrance to the home.

What was needed

How the surface was prepared.

Prepare and protect the surrounding timber-framed interior, then use a carefully controlled low-impact blasting approach to remove old dark staining and varnish from the staircase, steps, balustrade details and under-stairs cupboard. Work progressively around corners, joints and profiles to avoid flattening the oak's natural texture, followed by detailed dust removal and inspection so the timber is ready for the customer's chosen finishing system.
