Timber Staircase Polishing in Central Singapore

Stairs take the hardest wear in a house, especially at the nose of each tread. We hand-sand every tread and riser, sand the landings with a machine, then varnish in stages so you can still use the stairs.

Frequently asked questions

Can we use the stairs during the job?

Yes, with planning. We varnish alternate steps or work in stages so there's always a way up and down.

Is a glossy staircase slippery?

Gloss can feel slippery in socks. We recommend satin varnish or an anti-slip additive for stairs.

Do you polish maisonette stairs?

Yes, including HDB maisonettes and landed homes.
