Staircase refurbishment

6 years ago

Hello
We would love to change our current oak staircase to something like this. Just the horizontal rods and posts and rails. Does anyone know where in the U.K. Does this ?
Many thanks

OK- this is a bigger plan than I first thought. Since you are looking to make the whole house feel as open as possible I should try to get rid of any narrow spaces. Consider opening up the rear reception to your hallway next to the stairs and also to the family room at the front. Personally I would not open up the family room to the hall as that is the room you will need more wall space in. Then consider making the downstairs shower room smaller and the hallway at this part of the house wider so your entrance to the rear part of the house is wider and grander perhaps with glass doors (likely got to have doors for regulations) ....consider putting your laundry facilities upstairs.....use the under stairs space for storage. Keep the kitchen in the same location as it is now and open the kitchen to the dining room and then put in folding glass doors to the garden and that way you will be able to see from the front door to the garden. Next fit the kitchen in the same layout as your picture.... tall units on the wall with an island facing the side windows. Then the only decision is if you want a massive kitchen that moves into the dining room or do you want an extra space....personally I would have the former dining area as an extra sitting area with indoor/outdoor furniture. What ever you do I am sure it will look great.

Many thanks to Becci and Ricky, This is my first house and on top of that have to do a complete refurbishment. So your advise is worth its weight in gold. As per the building survey, these are the jobs that need doing. Besides this, as mentioned in my OP, there will be other jobs as flagged up in the building survey. Cut and pasted it below. I guess all of these will be done by the builder? 1)There is a subsidiary roof serving the conservatory to the rear and this is finished in Georgian wired glass panels however, at least three of the panels are damaged and we recommend these are renewed. Upgrading the roof completely should be a consideration. Cost £400.00 £2,000.00 3 2) The chimney is suffering from some mortar displacement and we recommend this is accessed and re-pointed and this should include repointing the flashing detail. Cost £800.00 2 3) Some of the corner trims fitted to the fascia are dislodged, namely, the front left and right-hand. You may wish to have these repositioned. Also, 1 of the soffit vents to the rear left-hand corner is dislodged, we recommend this re-positioned to maintain the soffit detail in good order. Cost £120 2 4) There are two small parapets above the conservatory both left and right. These are both finished with concrete capping stones however, the concrete capping stones are dislodging from their position, namely the right-hand side, and we recommend these are checked and re-laid, if necessary. Cost £180.00 2 5) The front elevation has a concrete tile detail and this appears generally complete with no major defects, although there is one tile missing on the right-hand side of the left bedroom window, we recommend this is replaced to maintain the detail in good order. Cost £80.00 2 6) The single course brickwork above the conservatory windows is leaning forward slightly and has cracked in several places to the mortar joints. We recommend the brickwork is rebuilt, this is 1 course of brickwork and is approximately 5m in length. Cost 350£ 2 7) There is a concrete wall separating the sections of the rear garden. However, the wall is suffering from mortar displacement and is loose in multiple areas. We recommend this is removed or renewed. Advisory 2 8 The roof void is accessed via a hatch on the landing ceiling, however, there is no option to install a pull-down ladder in this area as it is very close to the pitch of the roof. You may wish to install a further loft hatch in the front right-hand bedroom which would provide easier access and the ability to fit a pull-down ladder in this area. Cost £600.00 2 9 The walls to the kitchen are primarily clad in timber and again, we recommend all cladding is removed and re-plastering should be expected. The walls to the hall, stairs and landing are also clad in timber. We recommend this is removed and some re-plastering is to be expected. Advisory Predicted plastering costs throughout the property £2,000.00+ 10)There are cracks in the plaster finishes inside the built-in wardrobe to the rear right-hand bedroom to both left and right of the cupboard. These have opened up approximately 3-4mm in places but look slightly worse because the plaster has debonded and slipped. We recommend the cracks should be dealt with by way of breaking out the debonded plaster and renewing the plaster finishes however, if the cracks stem into the brickwork we recommend the installation of an EML style galvanized mesh and fixings to bridge the defects in the brickwork before the plaster finishes are re-applied. This is on both sides of the cupboard and is approximately 2m on either side. Cost £300.00 2 11) The doors to the rear and right-hand front bedrooms require adjusting to the doors to ensure they are fully operational. The handles to the kitchen door are also loose and require tightening. The downstairs WC door is also binding and we recommend this is eased. Cost £150.00 2 12) There appears to be a minimal amount of storage and cooking space available in the kitchen and we recommend a kitchen upgrade Advisory 2 should be a consideration, also increasing the unit capacity and the functionality of the kitchen. The kitchen has 35mm chipboard worktops finished in laminate which are also very dated, the worktops have also dropped 2mm in places and require the silicone seals renewed to ensure no water ingress to the worktops. £5000.00 basic Kitchen upgrade £60.00 13) There are smoke alarms fitted at the property however, these do not appear to be operational. We recommend the smoke alarms are renewed on both floors. Advisory 3 14) Heating at the property is provided by an ageing floor-standing heating system. This was in working order at the time of survey with hot water available at the taps however, the heating system is very old and we recommend upgrading it for a combination boiler system should be a consideration which would be much more energy-efficient. Cost £4,000.00 2 15 The garage roof has some pooling water present, we recommend you have these areas self-leveled to prevent this kind of settling water. Cost £200.00

I would remove that wood at the bottom of the stairs. With the dado rail, is it a period property and if so might it be original? You could keep it and paint it to match or Co-ordinate with whatever decor you choose (see first pic below). The stair rail would look nice either painted white or charcoal grey. Another option is white spindles and a charcoal grey handrail. A nice soft colour is Purbeck Stone by Farrow & Ball which my sister has used on her stairs and it looks lovely.
