newel post replacement

[chippiewood]

hi . i,m doing a job involving a dog leg stair case . all the newels need replacing .. and not just the top but the whole length of post . is this practical to do or should i consider a new staircase.. also the new newels and handrails etc are solid oak

 

[chappers]

how many newels and are there winders etc involved
replacing a full newel is rarely an easy job and wonce tread heights and routing are involved it becomes harder still .
Refitting treads may mean ripping out all the underlining of the stair including some ceilings .
Personally speaking i would be thinking of getting a new flight made.
Try stairplan www.stairplan.co.uk easily the cheapest i have come across
