Hi,
I live in a terraced house approx 100yrs old. I have only bought
this house a while ago
WHat I want to know is what is the best way to fix. Do I have to
replace the whole staircase. This seems expensive.
Is there a way where just the steps can be replaced?

For a custom made replacement staircase (a direct copy of the
original - less one tread - including ornate decorative fretwork to
the outer (cut) string) in softwood (no MDF!) togther with softwood
sticks + hardwood rail and newels, including rails around a long
landing cost £2,050 inc VAT, including removing the old staircase and
all fitting. There are 3 newels + one half-newel. Depending on what
you need doing, I suspect you will not need to spend quite that much.

Just for comparison, I've been quoted £1000 of folding for a made to
measure, single winder, MDF treads, nothing ornate, supplied and fitted.
