Stairs issue - bit of a tricky one

Recommended Posts

My stairs have spread such that some of the treads and risers are no longer sitting in the stringers. Anyone experience this kind of thing and be able to recommend a repairer, possibly involving inserting threaded rods underneath the stairs to bring them back into alignment ?

I could 100% recommend contacting Simon Fayers from London Bespoke Carpentry.

I was recommended him by a friend whose stairs he'd managed to stop creaking (when others had failed). He came and made the incredibly unsafe stairs to the loft in our new place less terrifying (there were no risers at all, just a large gap between each stair that was plenty big enough for a toddler to fall through). He did a great job and you wouldn't know that the stairs hadn't always looked as they do now.


You might have to wait a good few weeks for him to do the work, as he's quite popular, but that's the mark of a good carpenter I suppose?

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
