Can missing spindles be replaced in an old banister?

Hi yes they can be replaced no problem

Hi, Yes, old spindles can be replaced but depending on the design they may have to be custom made.

yes but you might find it hard getting a exact match for the old spindles. steve

Yes This can be done by removing the spacers and then fitting new spindles and replacing the spacers.

Yes,if you want to match existing original ones I would try a reclaim yard. Regards Steve

yes

yes if they are still available in the same pattern

Yes. Its just a case of removing the old wedges and replacing the spindle.

yes thanks peter

It should not be a problem to replace the spindles. Generally newer stairs have a baserail sitting on top of the stair string which "houses" the spindle in a groove small pieces of timber then fit into the baserail to space the spindles, the same arrangement works on the underside of the handrail. Older stairs are not always constructed in this way and the spindles may be pinned or even "jointed" to the handrail and string. If you are looking to match the spindles with existing ones then you may struggle to get these "off the shelf" if this is the case a local timber merchant or joinery shop should be able to help.

yes, but you may have trouble matching them up.

everything is possible they put man on the moon if they are off the shelf youll pay between 1.80-3.00 each plus 80.00 to fit by a quality carpenter
