Wanted: carpenter recommendation for stairs


coomberj

Recommended Posts

We're looking for a carpenter to do some work on our staircase and were hoping for a recommendation.


We live in a Victorian terraced house in ED. The previous owner boxed in the banisters and has messed around with the staircase a bit to do so. We want to put back a staircase similar to what would have originally been here.


Some spindles are missing and the newell post and banisters have been sawn into, but we'd like to retain any of the original pieces that we're able to still use and replace the damaged parts with similar.


If anyone knows of a good carpenter who might be able to do the work, we'd really appreciate a recommendation. (Or if you are a carpenter and would be able to come and quote for us...)


For some reason, we've had difficulties finding someone who would be able to do the job.


Thanks so much for any help!

Hi coomberj


I am a locally based carpenter in Peckham and I am recommended on this forum. I would be happy to come round and see the job in hand and I could advise you from there. I do know a company who can make replica spindles and posts.


You can see examples of my work at www.scottfirth.com and you can contact me through here or on 07973 846 610


Regards


Scott Firth

    • Thanks penguin  always wondered about that place and that’s way more info than I ever thought I would get  (used to live above a gun nut on friern road - he would tell me nothing)
    • There was a Saturday afternoon crowd of enthusiasts, and at other times the owner might have been off acquiring stock. He also repaired air guns, which he also sold. He stocked edged weapons, uniforms, including antique uniforms, air guns and ammo and starting pistols and shot. Some medals and other militaria. Quite a lot of ex service chit chat on a Saturday. I had an amateur interest, didn't deal a lot, in English pattern swords and other mainly 19th century militaria. And made some good purchases there. I'm afraid WWII and later events was the major focus of most of the regulars. 
    • Did anyone actually venture in to that place? I recall it always being closed/very uninviting!
    • Perry Bamonte from The Cure.. Just 65 years old.
