thank you Kevin and Mat for taking the time to teach others, two gentlemen builders. 👍
Our pleasure mate but there’s no Kevin here 😂👍🏻

Richard and Mat, 👍
The Digit glue spreaders are amazing. I have a few which I keep handy. I uses them for a variety of other uses, some of which I can't mention on here.
Spreading other things I assume...🤟
Pretty much have this exact staircase layout in a 15 year old house and now know why it's creaking, thanks for the video.
Another lovely video, unlikely to ever fit a staircase like that but great to help with thought processes for those things that I may come across.
One item of feedback, as my mum once said, don't talk and chew at the same time.. Was brief but unpleasant to listen to 😉
Thanks Mom I’ll remember that 😂👍🏻
Best staircase fitting video on RUclips!
That’s very kind of you to say so thank you. Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
Great to watch! Could watch these videos all day. Keep them coming...
My father was a joiner and I never got to see him do this type of construction etc. All in the day before power tools took over.
Thank you mate. Despite my boyish good looks I remember starting and I had a Yankee screwdriver and two different types on handsaw for cross cut and rip cut. Did plenty roofs knocking in nails and cutting by hand but love the power tools now it’s much better on the joints. 😁🔨🪚
Great to see you back all.
Thanks for such detailed and informative videos, the time you and Adam take to explain how you do things and your presentation style is far better than any other channel. Really look forward to you and Adam’s videos and Sunday afternoon is Mr A time now. Need you to renovate my property near Uttoxeter but alas I fear I am out of your travel area.
Great to see good quality work
Another super job Rich. Keep these amazing vids coming!!

Shud have done a bullnose step on bottom and got rid of stringers grand job m8
Happy New Year everyone. Great series but glad I don’t have to do this. 👍🏻 Mike
When fitting stairs always take measurements for risers from the top face of the treads/nosing, most mdf treads are 22mm finished thickness, but the top nosing may only be 18mm to match flooring thickness,
Using the underside of the tread an measuring down in multiples of the individual rises could put you 4mm out of level, and will leave the newel posts out of plumb.
Measure twice, cut once
I remember when we had our stairs fitted and they measured wrong 🤦
Fixed with a bit of 2*4 so it was easy but they spent most of the day scratching their heads trying to work out why the stairs didn't fit 🤣
Great video! How do you like our thermal camera TC004?
Happy New Year Richard, as always you've done an excellent job explaining how to install a staircase. You mentioned using a good quality foam filler for the gaps between the wall and the staircase, can you say which brand?
Hi Peter and thanks for the comment. There are a few you could use but in this case I’d say one that boasts adhesion qualities as well. We recently did a video with Pro Build Mag and Bond it. They supplied us with some expansion foam called Mega stik which they claim has a variety of uses. I’ve used it in this house to fill down the side of the door frames and as you saw the side of the stairs as well. It’s done a great job of it and I will use again and it’s not expensive either. I’ve put the link for you below. 👍🏻

You are a Good chippy consensus a credit to the trade
Thank you Kevin. Glad you enjoyed the video 👍🏻
Good job to quote an old saying that's going nowhere.
What was the name of the glue you said you used at the back of the top riser and under the top nosing ?
what do you think about those extending ladders? and what max height would you go with them. Ive seen 6m ones.
I think they are a great idea if you don’t want to drive around with a big ladder on your van all the time. Just need to keep them out of the wet weather and dirt free unless they do become harder to use. 👍🏻
Surprised and saddened customer didn't put a sloping cupboard over the stairs in that tiny bedroom. Would have made the room just about usable.
Couldn't you of nudged the stairs over so the top newl post was tight to the wall, that way you would of had near enough the the same size capping piece running up the strings on both side of the staircase and no need for a piece of quad running up the newl to cloak the gap.
Hi Anthony and thanks for taking the time to comment. The main and only reason for keeping tight to the wall and having that gap is to achieve a finger space down the side of the handrail once it is installed. The finger space, believe it or not is a condition under NHBC as there must always be a minimum of 20mm gap against any wall. That would mainly only apply to new build sites but if it’s good enough for new build it’s good enough for this job 👍🏻
The bend in the stairs are scarcily allowable here
Hi Rich, has Mick retired?
Nope he’s still going strong but was having a well deserved rest and getting stuff done at home. He’ll be back on our next job which we are all looking forward to starting this month. 👍🏻
@@mrabuilders6723 Super, look forward to seeing it hopefully.Best wishes to all and I hope you have a successful 2024
Nice work but shame it’s a cheap staircase, bottom tread should have been a bullnose.
Climbing over a bullnose to get to the understairs cupboard would be a nightmare. Come on lad think about it!
That wasn’t a bedroom or office but a cupboard just saying broom 👻
That room is actually larger than it looks and would be a master bedroom with en-suite in a new build 😂👍🏻
