If your staircase looks like it belongs in another decade, it may be time for a style refresh. With a staircase renovation, you have the freedom to choose modern materials and design features that bring your home up to date. We regularly work with homeowners in Gloucester and beyond who want to replace heavy wooden spindles with sleek glass panels or swap old pine handrails for solid oak or powder-coated metal finishes. Modern staircase ideas often include open risers, floating steps, and neutral colour schemes that enhance natural light and give your space a clean, open feel.
Renovating your staircase can also improve safety and durability, especially if treads or banisters have become loose over time. Many of our clients choose to match their updated staircase with new flooring, paintwork, or lighting to complete the look. Whether you’re after subtle elegance or a bold new feature, Jarrods Staircases can help you achieve the perfect transformation with materials built to last.

Transform Your Home with a Staircase Renovation
A staircase renovation is one of the most effective ways to refresh the look of your home without the need for major building work. Whether your current staircase is worn, dated, or no longer matches your interior, we can give it a complete makeover. From upgrading materials to replacing handrails and spindles, we work with you to create a design that fits your style and your home. Many homeowners choose oak staircases for their warmth and elegance, while others prefer the sleek, minimalist look of glass staircases or painted finishes.
Staircase refurbishments can completely change the feel of an entrance hall or landing, helping to create a brighter, more welcoming space. It’s a cost-effective alternative to full replacement and delivers maximum visual impact with minimal disruption.

So we were in the right place to get ours done. Gabriel and Neil did very well to go through it all with us, great. Then Chris arrived and what a job he has done here excellent from start to finish. Our lounge has been changed for the better, he was on time and left after cleaning up the site every day. He does like his cups of tea! We can’t fault the job, it’s really excellent.

One of the most compelling features of a bespoke floating staircase is how effortlessly it can be designed to integrate with the character and layout of your home. At Jarrods Staircases, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions — every staircase we build is tailored from the ground up, allowing us to create something that fits naturally within your space, both visually and structurally.
Whether you’re working with a narrow hallway, a split-level landing, or a wide open-plan layout, our goal is always the same: to enhance the overall flow of your home while making a bold design statement. Because our staircases are fully custom-built, we can adapt every detail to complement existing architecture and décor.
That includes fine-tuning tread depth, width, and spacing for both comfort and visual balance. We also pay close attention to how the staircase interacts with your space — from the placement of walls and windows to ceiling heights and sightlines — ensuring it never feels forced or out of place. We also work closely with you to ensure that the materials, lighting, and finish choices align beautifully with your home’s design language.
Whether you prefer natural timber treads that echo existing flooring or glass panels that keep sightlines open and uninterrupted, we’ll help you select a combination that adds harmony and elegance. Feature lighting can also be incorporated for both aesthetic and functional impact, allowing your staircase to shine even in low-light areas. Get in touch to discuss your staircase renovation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know about designing, manufacturing and installing a bespoke staircase.
What is involved in a staircase renovation?
A staircase renovation typically involves upgrading the visual and structural elements of your existing staircase without replacing the entire framework. At Jarrods Staircases, we assess the current structure and then work with you to design a new look that suits your home. Common renovation options include replacing old handrails with oak or metal, swapping dated spindles for sleek glass panels, and refinishing treads or risers for a cleaner, more modern appearance. We can also repaint, reclad, or reconfigure parts of the staircase to better fit your interior. Whether you’re after a subtle refresh or a complete transformation, we ensure everything meets current building regulations and is crafted to last. Staircase renovations are a fantastic way to bring new life into a tired entrance or hallway with less cost and disruption than a full replacement. The end result is a staircase that feels brand new but is built on your home’s original structure.
How much does a staircase renovation cost?
The cost of a staircase renovation varies depending on the materials, size, and complexity of the work involved. At Jarrods Staircases, we offer tailored quotes based on your specific requirements. For example, a simple upgrade like replacing old handrails and spindles with modern oak or glass may be more affordable than a full redesign involving cladding or structural modifications. Glass staircases, floating steps, or custom finishes can increase the cost, but they also add significant value and aesthetic appeal to your home. On average, most of our clients find that renovating a staircase is a cost-effective way to update their property compared to a full staircase replacement. We’re always happy to discuss budget and design options during a free consultation, and we provide clear, upfront pricing so there are no surprises. Our focus is on delivering a high-end finish and long-lasting results that represent real value for your investment.
Can you renovate any type of staircase?
Yes, we can renovate most types of staircases, whether they’re straight, L-shaped, U-shaped, or feature turns and landings. At Jarrods Staircases, we have experience working with a wide range of designs, materials, and layouts found in UK homes. Whether your existing staircase is made of softwood, hardwood, or concrete, we can update it with new materials like oak, glass, or steel to give it a completely new look. Even if your staircase is quite old or feels structurally weak, we can often reinforce or repair the framework as part of the renovation. We also work with awkward or tight spaces and can advise on solutions to make your stairs safer, more functional, and better looking. Spiral staircases and floating staircases can also be updated, though they may require more specialist design work. Whatever your current setup, we’ll find a way to refresh it with high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship.
How long does a staircase renovation take?
The duration of a staircase renovation depends on the scope of the project, but most renovations can be completed within a few days to a week. At Jarrods Staircases, we plan the project carefully to keep disruption to a minimum and ensure that your home stays functional during the process. Smaller projects, such as replacing spindles or upgrading a handrail, can sometimes be completed in just one or two days. Larger renovations involving glass panel installations, oak stair tread replacements, or structural adjustments may take slightly longer. We always provide a clear timescale during your consultation and keep you updated throughout the process. Our in-house team works efficiently, respectfully, and with great attention to detail to ensure your new staircase is completed to the highest standard. We also clean up thoroughly once the job is done, so all you’re left with is a beautifully updated staircase ready to enjoy.
Is it worth renovating my staircase instead of replacing it?
Yes, renovating your staircase is often a smart, cost-effective alternative to a full replacement. If the underlying structure of your staircase is still solid, a renovation can dramatically improve the appearance and functionality without the expense and disruption of starting from scratch. At Jarrods Staircases, we specialise in staircase renovations that achieve the same visual impact as a brand-new build. Whether you want to modernise your hallway with glass panels, refresh your stairs with oak cladding, or simply update a dated design, a renovation can achieve outstanding results. Many of our clients choose this option as part of a home improvement or redecoration project. It’s particularly worthwhile if you’re planning to sell, as an upgraded staircase makes a strong first impression and adds value to your property. Ultimately, renovating allows you to get the staircase you want faster, for less, and with a fully customised design tailored to your home.
Will a staircase renovation create a lot of disruption in my home?
Staircase renovations are generally far less disruptive than a full staircase replacement, especially when the existing structure is being retained. At Jarrods Staircases, we carefully plan each project to minimise inconvenience and keep your home functional throughout the process. Most renovation work is focused on the visible elements such as treads, handrails and balustrades, which means we can often complete the job without major structural changes. Our team works efficiently and keeps the workspace tidy, protecting surrounding flooring and furniture where needed. In many cases, you will still be able to use your staircase during parts of the renovation, although there may be short periods where access is limited. We always communicate clearly about timings and what to expect, so you can plan accordingly. Our aim is to deliver a smooth, stress-free experience while transforming your staircase.
Can I change the style of my staircase during a renovation?
Yes, one of the main advantages of a staircase renovation is the ability to completely change the look and style without replacing the entire structure. At Jarrods Staircases, we regularly transform outdated staircases into modern features that better suit the home. This might involve replacing traditional spindles with glass panels, upgrading to oak handrails, or introducing more contemporary finishes and colours. Even small changes can have a big impact on the overall appearance. We work closely with you to understand your vision and suggest design options that complement your interior. Whether you want a modern, minimalist feel or something more classic and detailed, a renovation gives you the flexibility to achieve it. By updating key elements, we can create a staircase that feels brand new while retaining the existing framework, making it a cost-effective and highly customisable solution.
