Recommendation wanted: Carpenter for stairway restoration / joinery

Hi


Can anyone recommend a good joiner for some restoration work on a Victorian stairway? We would like to remove the Newell post and re-instate a "volute" turn on the handrail and bullnose step at the bottom of our stairs (I think those are the technical terms!?). I think the previous owner removed both to widen the hallway for access reasons.


Many thanks!

Hi,


We did the exact same thing in our house; completely renovated the stair case back to its Victorian state (although without the turn/ spiral at the end as it was out of our budget) We contacted loads of joiners/ carpenters and found that lots of people just didn't want to do the job or have the expertise in the end, so we went with a company called K&D Joinery Ltd. They are based in East London but honestly did such a fantastic job- I've attached some before and after shots. Not the cheapest but knew exactly what they were doing and fitted everything in 2 days...super clean and quick. We'd definitely use them again.

    • Good that PETA is on it but can we add our voices to the fight against this horrible practice? I’m still shocked! A petition maybe? Happy to raise to the RSPCA but don’t want to duplicate efforts. I’ve signed campaigns from RSPCA before which sends it directly to your councillor
    • Yes, I'm aware of that. I believe the brood was five to begin with. However they are almost adult size now so not the prey of rats any longer. 
    • Happy to recommend Greg. Lovely guy and a really hard worker, high standard of work, clean and tidy too. Greg sorted out a tricky water tank problem in a tight space in a loft, staying late into the evening to get the correct parts and fix the problem. Thanks Greg!
    • Birds have large broods as it is unlikely all their offspring will make it through to adulthood.  Nature.  Important to reduce unnatural predation such as rats.
