Thanks for your compliment, I'm glad you found the video useful 👍
Thanks Fowler, you've given me confidence to have a go, I thought I was going to have to take the plasterboard off the back!
It's definitely worth trying without removing the plasterboard. Just make sure you glue and screw them together!
Exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks!
I'm glad the video was helpful, let me know how you get on fixing your noisy stairs
Fantastic !!!
No problem, thanks for your comment 👍
Thanks for this it’s really helpful! All the best and keep the vids coming👍
Hi, im glad you found the video helpful, and hopefully, you can fix your stairs!
Real good content mate. Gonna give this a try
It's fixed my noisy stairs! You can also go one step further and put screws into the stringers at the side of the treads. Let me know how you get on!
Excellent !! Thanks for your video. I will definitely got rid off my problem !
Hi, hopefully that will cure your noisy stairs! Thanks for your comment!
This is very helpful Fowler. Just Subscribed!
I'm glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for subscribing 👍
I've bought the same pocket jig to help do this job. I tried glue and blocks from under the stairs and improved noise a bit but hopefully this sorts it completely.
If you can get access to the underside of the stairs then you can push the wedges in further and screw in extra blocks for support. Decent wood glue will definitely help! Let me know how you get on!
@@FixitwithFowler I used blocks and expanding glue. Didn't use wedges as very old stairs and hammering wedges in felt like might do more damage than good. Putting these pockets in the treads and risers and also into the side stringers should do the trick
@boodgebutton yes definitely.The fixings in the stringers will definitely help aswell
thanks for the guide it was great! really helped me decide to hire a joiner to do it for me lol your guide was simple and easy to understand.... im just too lazy for that lark lol
Lol, at least you're honest! Thanks for your comment 👍
Thanks mate, I had a rough idea but this was very helpful!👍
Hi, im glad you found the video helpful ☺️
@@FixitwithFowler Just couldnt get it right today, the steps are more solid but still a bit creaky!
@Nickpaintbrush have you put in glue in the joints?
@@FixitwithFowler I did put some pva in where I could, I'm going to have a go at screwing some chocs behind the stairs tomorrow!
@Nickpaintbrush that might help, stairs are a nightmare to fix, and the constant foot traffic doesn't help!
Nice makita. Looking forward to when Japan has the DTD173 impact finally get to Canada. Thanks and cheers.
Hi, I've been using makita 18v battery tools for over 10 years and found them amazing. I've even got a big mitre saw that runs off two 18v batteries. Really impressive tools, in my opinion
@@FixitwithFowler Had some corded for decades, and my dad even longer. 3 years ago I got some of the 18 LXT line for an industrial setting. They are well made and very ergonomic. I show my coworkers a dewalt xr and mil fuel in comparison. The smoothness of their tools can not be stated enough. This doesn't matter when you are 25 years old and a 300 Kg gorilla, but when you get on the backhalf of life those small adjustments are vital to a full working day with as little pain as possible. Oh you will grunt and go on, but why when there are better options.
Once the other grandaughter gets out of bed, ill do some squeak removal. Have a good weekend.
@thorinbane thanks for that!
Amazing ,it looks so simple when you doing it 😅
Yeah, it's always easy to watch someone else, lol. It is quite straightforward to do, but the key is to take your time and use decent glue!
Thanks for the video:
Im not sure about the feedback but I think i would recommend some ventillatjon when hsing the carpet adhesive and eye protection when freehanding the angled screw hole. With softer bits youre ok but i have grabbed harder bits and occasionally theyll shatter with that kind of operation.
I dont want to come across as too much here these are just my opinion 😅. I learned new things from the video and dont consider myself an expert on this!
Hi, thanks for your feedback. Yeah, you're right about the eye protection. You should have thought about that!
This is super helpful! Quick question what size screws do you use for both of the fixing?
Oh, now you're asking, i can't remember to be honest.
Thank you, I will come back and let you know how mine goes. It would of been good too see your results after too see if it was still squeaky lol.
Hi, thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, i had trouble with the top tread, and that took me a few attempts to stop the creaking stairs.
Thanks for the videos, very helpful. Do you think Wood glue works better then watered down PVA ? Ive seen other videos use the PVA method on floorboard.
Hi, i think neat woodglue is better as it's stronger than pva glue. Once wood glue has cured, it becomes stronger than the wood itself! Hope that helps?
no carpet stairs .. I have the same problem how can I stop the noise thanks mill
Do the stairs squeek?
Great video Steve. Are gripper rods sharper than insulation spikes? Use the correct gloves please
The gripper rods are definitely sharper! Can you send me some gloves, please 🙏 🙂
You may have said it, but I can’t find it. What size screws did you use with the pocket holes?
Oh, sorry, I don't remember, it was a while ago! You need to select the screws to match the thickness or depth of the stairs.
Excellent. I don't have any carpet yet. Stairs squeeks like a nutta. I do have access under the stairs from the cupboard so I am thinking....... Screw throught the riser into the tread from the underside. Or should it get myself that jig and do it all from on top ? Or both ?
If you can access the underside of the stairs, then this job is so much easier. There are normally wedges you can tap back in and also wooden blocks you can tighten up. I would always recommend glueing as well as screwing. Try just fixing from underneath, then if you still have movement, consider buying a jig.
@@FixitwithFowler Thank you so much. I have seen the wedges. Glue 100% from above and why not get the jig in order to make it all totally fast. Stair is over 70 years old. We are also getting a stair case for access to the loft and it might be worth doing a bit of extra work myself to make sure that doesn't start to squeek in the future. Thanks again. I have spent the past 3 months watching pretty much nothing but building channels. I built a kitchen (prefab from WREN), I have tiled floors, I have done plumbing and soldering and all because of people like you sharing the knowledge. Very much appreciated I can promise you!
@Lee.Willcox.Nincompoopery that's brilliant, hopefully you will find some of my other videos helpful 😀
@@FixitwithFowler I am sure I watxched one where you drilled a core into a cast iron soil pipe. I need to do the same. I am working on an old upstairs bathroom as I type this. I need to core drill the cavity wall brick under the floor for the shower tray and would like to run a new PVC pipe from that into the down pipe. I will check out all your videos 100%. I am sure I watched you do exactly that.
@Lee.Willcox.Nincompoopery brilliant, cheers!
Which glue do you recommend and which store
Hi, I use this glue amzn.to/48YuPMc I use it for most indoor wood projects and find it really strong.
Ii would have been nice if you proved that it didn't creak, and revisited after a month to show it still worked.
That was filmed 6 months ago and still ok 👍. I think the key is decent wood glue.
great video. was wondering how to secure down the back of the staircase step and your video was the 1st video that showed exactly how to do it 🙂
Glad it was helpful! Please consider subscribing for more great videos!
Can I ask, do the risers sit on the step, or does the step sit against the riser?
The step sits against the riser, hope that helps!
I have stairs where the riser sits on the step. The riser is MDF 😢
Any tips?
Is that the point where there is movement?
@@Sarah-Collen have you tried using a really good wood glue like this? amzn.to/3ONlTC7
I always screw my gripper on, especially on risers.
Cheers for your tip!
