Staircases
A careful refresh of an ornate Victorian staircase, revealing the warmth and character of its timber detailing while keeping the period craftsmanship at the heart of the result. Gentle surface preparation removed the tired dark coating without treating the balusters, newel posts or panelling harshly, leaving the staircase ready for a durable new finish.

What was needed
The work covered the staircase's decorative Gothic-style balusters, shaped newel posts and traditional tongue-and-groove wall panelling. Existing dark staining was methodically lifted with a controlled, low-impact restoration process, with particular care around the trefoil cut-outs, mouldings, edges and other fine details. The cleaned timber was left even, sound and prepared for finishing, rather than aggressively eroded by heavy blasting.
