When to renovate a staircase

It can be a challenge to decide when to renovate a staircase. It helps to remember that everyone in your family interacts with it on a daily basis, and, renovated with care, can improve your home's style, safety and livability.

First Step Designs recommends that you consider a staircase renovation when:

  • It is starting to show its age: Signs like worn treads, chipped paint, and loose or shaky railings are common indicators. The good news is that these issues are usually easily addressed with a renovation.
  • It's becoming a safety concern: Uneven steps, wobbly railings, or unstable handrails aren’t just inconvenient—they can be dangerous, especially for kids and the elderly. A renovation can eliminate these risks with minimal disruption.
  • You've changed your home's design: If you've updated your walls, floors, or decor, your staircase should follow suit. A renovation helps create a more polished, cohesive design throughout your living space.
  • You need a more functional layout: In smaller homes or tight areas, reworking the staircase layout can improve flow, enhance natural light, and make your home feel more open and functional.
  • You want to increase your property's value: A well-renovated staircase adds appeal for potential buyers and can be a major factor in achieving a higher sale price.

Staircase Renovations FAQs

Can I renovate my staircase without replacing it entirely?

Yes, you can. In fact, the point of a staircase renovation is to return it to its former glory (or better) without the need, costs, or hassle of a full staircase replacement. Staircase remodelling focuses largely on the visible elements of a staircase, and while our team is more than happy to address minor structural issues, they aim to breathe new life into old stairs without the disruption of tearing everything out.

How do I choose the right staircase renovation style to suit my home?

With First Step Designs as your renovation partner, you don't have to be a world-class designer to get world-class results. Our design team will work with you from day one, working through design ideas and directions built around your tastes and home's existing styles.

We encourage our clients to visit our inspiration gallery to find stair styles, materials, and finishes that fit into their vision. Using this as a jumping off point, we craft original and one-of-a-kind staircase renovation concepts, iterating on the designs you find inspiring until we find the design that brings it all together.

Recognised as the leading UK staircase company, we're very confident that we can help you renovate your stairs into something inspiring.

How long does a staircase renovation take?

Again depending on the scope of the project, First Step Designs staircase renovations typically take around 4 weeks from first contact to final quality check for smaller projects, and roughly 8 to 10 weeks for larger projects requiring more custom fabricated parts.
