Yes, and that's exactly what makes a staircase renovation so appealing. Instead of replacing the structure, our team focuses on the visible elements you see and interact with every day—treads, handrails, balustrades, newel posts, surface finishes, and more. While our team is happy to address any minor structural issues they identify, a staircase renovation is the ideal way to breathe new life into old stairs without the costs, hassle, and disruptions of a complete replacement.
Given the costs, time investments, and impact of a staircase renovation, choosing the right look and feel can be overwhelming—but it doesn't have to be! At First Step Designs, we turn your uncertainty into clarity and a well-defined vision, regardless of your design skills.
From traditional homes to ultra-modern renovations, our design team works collaboratively with our clients to design renovations that inspire. We offer expert advice on layout designs, material choices, and finishes that will complement your home. We encourage our clients to visit our inspiration gallery, save their favourite features, and work closely with us for truly one-of-a-kind designs.
As the leading supplier of bespoke staircases in the UK, we're confident that our team can help you renovate your staircase to reflect your style and taste.
