Hi Matt, thanks for reaching out! Please see the attached link for the sample packs, Is it a full staircase renovation that you're looking to start? www.fiximer.co.uk/product/oak-stair-renovation-sample-pack/

Great question! Both methods can work, but generally, starting from the bottom and working your way up is the most common approach. This allows you to ensure that the tread aligns properly with the riser as you go, and it can make the installation smoother. Installing the tread first and then the riser over the top, covering the back edge, is a good strategy for a clean finish. Starting from the bottom also gives you a solid base to work from, and it's easier to handle the cuts for the top treads. Just make sure to measure carefully and ensure everything is level as you go!

We’re using oak veneered MDF for this project, which offers the beautiful look of oak while being more cost-effective and durable. For the dimensions, they can vary depending on your specific needs, but we recommend checking our website for detailed specifications and options. Feel free to explore our product range for more information!

Great observation! Typically, for a handrail with a 40° angled end, the screw should be driven at an angle into the handrail to secure it properly to the newel post. The screw should go into the handrail at an angle to match the angle of the handrail end, so the washer will likely not sit completely flush, but that's normal in this case. When using a metal fixing kit, it’s important to align the screw to the newel post fitting, so it secures the handrail firmly while compensating for the angled end of the handrail. If needed, you can use angled washers or special fixings designed for this purpose to ensure a secure and flush installation. Thanks for your great question!

Hi Carl, you can treat the newel post cladding as a new post, and drill through it as you would connect a handrail usually. Hope this helps!

The fixing kit is designed for a permanent, secure finish, removing the handrail after installation could be difficult, as it’s intended to create a strong, long-lasting connection. However, if you anticipate needing to remove the handrail in the future, you could consider using a more removable fixing option or installing the handrail in a way that allows for future disassembly, such as with screws and fittings that are easier to unscrew or with a different type of connection. Keep in mind that permanent fixings will provide the most stability, but they won't be as easy to remove once installed.

Good tip!

Yes you are!

Thank you!

Very welcome

We hope it turns out the way you want it! Also we do have a full renovation guide if you want more information: th-cam.com/video/0Pyh7BHQzdw/w-d-xo.html

Hi, we offer a range of hard wax oil colours www.fiximer.co.uk/product/hard-wax-oil-colours/ You can use these to achieve a different colour to what you see on the video. You could also try a wood stain or if you do not want to see the wood texture at all, simply paint it the colour that matches the rest of your interior (you might want to also use a primer then, to make sure the paint sticks properly). Hope this helps!

Hi, this will depend on what you intend to do with it. We invite you to watch our full renovation guide th-cam.com/play/PLqxnV5MXmGxAvi1hKW7DBxcLKBY7ixBy9.html where you can see the full process from start to finish and the tools we've used, and decide if this will meet your needs :)

Hi, good question! This would depend on whether you'd want a standard wall handrail or a nice balustrade (if your house construction allows for one) - but this would most likely need a whole series on its own, as we have many styles available - we might create a guide on this in the future!

Hi, we use certified European oak. If you're interested you can find all the products seen in the video in our shop at www.fiximer.co.uk For the steps cladding we also offer a choice of Prime and Rustic oak. If you would prefer to achieve a different colour on your project we also have a selection of different wood stains

Thanks for the comment. Absolutely - always use the tool that's most suitable for the job! We just wanted to make the guide accessible to novices and DIY'ers so we've tried to limit the number of tools being used here
