Frequently Asked Questions about Stair spindle tightening in Crediton
Why have my spindles come loose?
Wood shrinks over time, glue fails, and years of use loosens fixings. Very common in older properties. Original nails and glue just don't last forever.
Is it worth fixing or should I replace them?
Tightening is usually fine if the spindle itself is sound. Replacement only needed if spindles are damaged or you want a different style.
Can all the loose ones be fixed in one visit?
Yes - we'll check and tighten all spindles that need attention. More efficient than calling back later for ones we missed.
Will the repair be visible?
We use hidden fixing methods where possible. If visible pins are needed, they can be filled and painted over.
