Common Problems We Fix
Stairs are one of the most used areas of any home, and over time they can become worn, damaged, or unsafe. Especially in Brisbane’s weather conditions. We specialise in repairing all types of stair, handrail, and balustrade issues across timber and steel staircases.
We regularly repair:
-
Rotten or soft timber stair treads
-
Loose, wobbly, or unstable stairs
-
Creaking or noisy steps when walked on
-
Cracked or damaged stair stringers
-
Sagging or uneven staircases
-
Water-damaged stairs
-
Slippery or worn stair surfaces
-
Loose or unstable handrails
-
Broken or missing balusters
-
Damaged or rotting timber balustrades
-
Handrails that don’t meet current safety standards
-
Gaps that are too wide or unsafe for children
-
Rusted or deteriorated steel stringers
At the time these properties were constructed, large gaps in balustrades were common, which can allow children or pets to slip through or fall. Modern safety standards now require much closer spacing between balusters to reduce these risks and improve overall stair safety.
Upgrading older balustrades and handrails is often a simple and effective way to bring your home up to standard while also improving the look.
The Queenslander Specialists
Queenslander homes require a specialised approach when it comes to external stairs. Older timber stairs are often affected by moisture, rot or pests.
We focus on:
-
Using durable timber suited to Brisbane conditions
-
Matching existing character and style
-
Strengthening structures for long-term reliability
-
Sealing joints and improving airflow
This ensures your stairs not only look great but last for years to come.
Hardwood Stair Replacement
Mount Gravatt East
We recently completed a full external timber stair replacement for a post-war home in Mount Gravatt East, fabricating the staircase on site using ironbark hardwood while carefully matching the original character and style of the home.
The original staircase had deteriorated significantly over time due to weather exposure and timber rot, eventually collapsing and becoming unsafe to use. The new ironbark stairs were built to suit the existing landings and maintaining the original appearance of the post-war Brisbane home.
Once completed, the new timberwork was prepared and colour matched to suit.
