Timber stairs are one of the most heavily used features in any home, yet they’re often overlooked when it comes to maintenance. After a busy holiday period with increased foot traffic, guests and daily use, signs of wear become far more noticeable once January routines return.
Worn stair treads, scratches and faded finishes don’t just affect how your home looks, they can also impact safety. January is the ideal time to assess and restore timber stairs before the year gets fully underway.
At The Timber Doctor, we provide professional timber repair and restoration services designed to improve safety, restore appearance and extend the life of timber staircases.
How the Holidays Impact Timber Stairs
Stairs experience concentrated wear, especially during busy periods like the summer holidays. Common issues include:
- Worn or slippery stair treads
- Scratches, dents and surface damage
- Dull or uneven finishes
- Timber movement caused by summer humidity
- Reduced grip in high-traffic areas
These issues often become clearer once homes quiet down in January.
Why January Is the Right Time for Timber Stair Repairs
Addressing timber stair damage early helps prevent minor wear from becoming a safety concern or a more costly repair later. January offers a practical window to complete restoration before work, school and daily routines fully resume.
