Location: Ibstock, Leicestershire
Project Type: Staircase Renovation
Completed by: Robert McVey Staircases
Features: Full Oak Upgrade • Glass Balustrade • Oak Treads & Risers • Oak Stringers, Rails & Newels

Project Overview

This renovation in Ibstock involved transforming a dated two-tone staircase into a clean, contemporary, all-oak design complemented by modern glass balustrade panels. The client wanted a warmer, more cohesive look that would brighten the hallway and create a high-quality feature within their home.

Before

The original staircase featured a contrasting two-tone finish that had become outdated and no longer suited the surrounding décor. The mixed materials made the staircase feel heavy and visually cluttered.

After

Robert McVey Staircases completed a full oak conversion, replacing all key components and integrating sleek glass elements. The renovation included:

• Oak Treads & Risers: Offering a durable, natural finish with consistent grain and tone.

• Oak Stringers: Replacing the original painted sections for a seamless, premium look.

• Oak Rails & Newel Posts: Enhancing the warmth and visual appeal of the staircase.

• Glass Balustrade Panels: Opening up the space and allowing more natural light to flow through the hallway.

The Result

The staircase has been completely revitalised with a unified all-oak aesthetic and contemporary glass detailing. The transformation has created a brighter, more modern focal point for the home, delivering both style and long-term durability.

This project highlights the craftsmanship and attention to detail Robert McVey Staircases brings to every renovation.
