I have neighbours who is doing a loft conversion on an Edwardian
semi-detached. They would like to continue the staircase using the
same type of spindles and handrail as on the older part. The problem
is that the spindles are "square" turned, and there does not appear to
be anyone in this area (northeast of England) who does this.

I'm surprised at this - when I was overhauling mine and needed a few
matching spares, a workmate's father turned them up on the wood lathe in
his shed - and they were a perfect match.
