Handrail and spindles to spiral staircase

17/5/2019

0 Comments

 
​After completing a curved extension and having a concrete spiral staircase manufactured a Poppleton based family began the difficult process of trying to find a manufacturer for a bespoke European oak handrail and spindles to compliment the stairs. After many months of being told it couldn’t be done they eventually found us, we visited site, examined the staircase, advised exactly what could be achieved and provided an estimate for the works.

After some careful setting out a softwood former was built in our workshop to manufacture the handrail around and over the next couple of weeks the long length and various shorter complex sections of handrail were machined along with the chamfered spindles.
It took around a week to install the stained handrail, spindles and base rail. Great care was taken during this process and everyone was proud of the end results.

​If you’ve got a project that you are struggling to find quality joiners for please give us a call (01904 489193) and we would be happy to advise what can be achieved by our highly skilled and experienced team.
