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

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
