Concealed Stair Screws
Pull treads tight invisibly. Silent. Strong.

A stair that squeaks at night or a tread that moves underfoot is annoying at best and unsafe at worst. Squeaks come from timber rubbing against timber or loose fixings. We find each noisy step and re-fix, glue and block it so the stairs are firm and silent.
At a Glance
Quiet Steps
Most creaks can be fixed without removing the treads.
We find every squeak, re-fix and glue treads and hide the fixings.
Causes
| Cause | Sign | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Tread Rubbing on Riser | Squeak at the front | Glue and screw tread to riser |
| Loose Fixings | Tread moves | Re-fixed with concealed screws |
| Shrunk Glue Blocks | Squeak from below | New glue blocks underneath |
| Gap Above Concrete | Hollow sound and flex | Injected adhesive to fill the void |
Process
We walk each step slowly and mark every noise and movement.
Where the underside is open, glue blocks are added.
Concealed screws and adhesive fix treads where there is no access below.
Every step is retested and touched up so fixings are hidden.
Dry, air-conditioned air shrinks timber, so gaps open and stairs that were quiet when new start to squeak. Most can be fixed without removing treads.
On timber-clad concrete stairs, hollow spots under treads cause flex and noise. Injecting adhesive into the void stops the movement.
For worn treads, see tread replacement. For bouncy stairs, see stair frame reinforcement, and for refinishing, stair refinishing.
Humidity
Squeaks often appear in winter when AC runs less and timber moves.
Hidden Fixings
Screw heads are hidden with plugs or filler and touched up.

Call when a handrail moves, a tread creaks or flexes, a spindle is loose or missing, or the finish has worn through. Loose railings are a fall risk and should be fixed promptly.
