Frequently Asked Questions about Banister replacement in Newton Abbot
How long does full banister replacement take?
Typically a full day for a straight staircase. Complex stairs with turns or gallered landings take longer. Old banister needs careful removal, all components fitted, everything finished properly.
What styles are available?
Everything from traditional turned spindles to contemporary square or metal designs. Glass panels for a modern look. Oak, pine, painted softwood, metal - lots of options.
Do banisters have to meet building regulations?
Yes. Must be at least 900mm high (1000mm on landings), gaps no more than 100mm, strong enough to withstand pushing. Any replacement should meet these standards.
What happens to the old banister?
Removed and disposed of. If it's a valuable period piece you want to keep, let me know. Otherwise it goes in the skip as part of the job.
