— About us
Stairs
Your staircase is one of the most used — and most visible — features in your home. Whether you're looking to replace a tired, creaking staircase with something fresh and modern, upgrade your handrails and balustrading, or repair structural issues that have developed over time, Ray Sarll Renovations has the joinery expertise to deliver the result you're after. With over 38 years in the trade, we've worked on staircases in all kinds of properties across North London — from Victorian terraces with original timber stairs to modern new-builds requiring sleek glass balustrades.

How it works
Survey & Design
We visit your home to assess the existing staircase, understand what you want to achieve, and discuss the best materials and design options for your budget and property style.
Manufacture & Preparation
Where required, components are made or sourced to your specification — treads, risers, handrails, newel posts, and balusters — all matched precisely to your measurements.
Installation & Finishing
Our skilled joiners carry out the installation with care and precision, ensuring structural integrity, a clean finish, and full compliance with current building regulations.

Why choose our service
Genuine Joinery Expertise
Staircase work requires real skill. Our team has the experience to handle everything from straightforward replacements to complex bespoke designs.
Built to Building Regulations
We ensure all staircase work meets current Part K building regulations for pitch, rise, tread depth, and balustrade spacing — important for both safety and resale value.
Wide Range of Materials & Styles
Softwood, hardwood, glass, steel, oak — we work across all the main materials and can help you choose the right combination for your home.
A new staircase can completely transform the feel of a hallway or living space. Modern open-tread stairs with glass panels, a solid oak handrail replacing a dated spindle balustrade, or a full like-for-like replacement with upgraded materials — the impact is often much greater than homeowners expect. It's one of those renovations that adds both real value and everyday enjoyment.
We also carry out staircase repairs, including fixing loose or damaged treads, replacing broken balusters, strengthening newel posts, and eliminating creaks caused by movement in older timber joints. If your staircase needs attention but doesn't need a full replacement, we'll tell you honestly and get it sorted without overcomplicating the job.
