Good to Know
> 📏 **100mm rule** - building regulations say a 100mm sphere shouldn't be able to pass through any gap in a balustrade. This sets the maximum spindle spacing. **Sourcing spindles:** - Measure height and width - Note the profile/pattern - Take old one to merchant - Specialists for period matches **Multiple spindles:** - More efficient per spindle - Batch the work - Consider full replacement? - Matching matters
Frequently Asked Questions about Stair spindle replacement in Crediton
Can you match my existing spindles?
Usually yes. Common turned spindles are readily available. Unusual or period designs may need sourcing from specialists or having one turned to match.
Is one broken spindle really a safety issue?
Yes - building regs require that a 100mm sphere can't pass between spindles. Missing or broken spindles create a fall risk, especially for children.
How do you remove the old spindle?
Depends how it's fixed. Usually cut out, twist out, or knock out from below. The method depends on whether it's nailed, screwed, or dowelled in.
Will the new spindle match the paint?
We fit unpainted spindles - they'll need painting to match. We can arrange painting if needed, or you can paint yourself.
