From the initial consultation through to completion, the service was professional and reliable. The attention to detail on our handrails and bannisters was exceptional, and the finished result has completely elevated the entrance of our home.
We wanted to restore rather than replace the original staircase in our Victorian home, and we are so pleased we did. The workmanship was excellent, and the restored finish perfectly matches the style and age of the property.
The restoration of our original wooden staircase has made a remarkable difference to our home. The bannisters and handrails look stunning, while still keeping the character of the property intact. The quality of work was outstanding.
