newel post

Hi all. My first post here so please be kindI have ordered a new staircase online for an old house. The old staircase was too steep and under the regs for tread depth. To alleviate this I have removed one wall to the left of the staircase and the new one will be a winder. At the top of the...

My next DIY project is replacing naff cheap late 70s horizontal bannisters for new traditional spindle handrail version You can see the bottom of the stairs and stringer in picture 1 and the newly post I'm getting in picture 2. From the various videos I have watched on the topic I am thinking...

Hi all. I have a newel post that's quite low and want to make it taller and then attach a handrail. I'll use zipbolt to extend the newel post. The current newel post, which is painted, measures 85x93mm. I can't find anything like that size anywhere. I suspect that I'll need to account ~1mm for...

Hi there, I'm laying a solid herringbone floor and have reached a tricky area - the base of the stairs. We are thinking about undercutting the stair stringers, newel post and riser by 6-8mm to allow for an expansion gap, so that when completed, the wood floor will look like it neatly touches...

I’m doing a full renovation in a 1930’s semi and finally come to a job I’ve been concerned about for some time. I am sorting out the banister which will be replaced with a large piece of glass with wooden hand rail above. However, the newel post at the top of the stairs is almost 2” out from top...

Hi, So basically we are wanting to convert our banister to spindles. However, as you can see in the pictures, our bottom stringer runs into our ceiling. Now, I know its possible to have spindles running up towards the ceiling, but as far as I'm aware this is where the next issues lies. Our...

Hello there. I'm replacing a balustrade on the landing primarily beacasue it's rocking dangerously but also to put something more modern in its place. Dismantling the existing balustrade revealed that, at some point in the past, the newel post appears to have broken and been "repaired" by...

Hi all, Some advice please. I've 2 Newel Posts need fixing for what will be a very small little bannister in the top room of our mid-teerrace. Previous owners had only loosely screwed them into the joists, and had put them so far into the room it's loosing us a lot of space. Looking to move...
