Staircase repair

Building types 1 and 2: 1850-1920

Wooden stair nosings
Stairs form an important part of a building’s function and architecture. The multitude of available stair types is evidence of the long-standing endeavours to achieve the perfect staircase, synthesising functionality and appearance.  

Stairs can be made of many different materials; however most staircases in multi-storey housing up to the 1930s and 40s were made of wood. The job of building and installing a staircase has always been among the foremost disciplines of the carpentry trade. The work requires accurate measurements and a high standard of precision at all stages. Just as there will always be a need for stairs, there will always be a need for skilled carpenters who understand how to create, maintain and renovate the perfect staircase.
