Anybody repaired one on closed stairs?
I am thinking of cutting a hole in the ceiling to get access from underneath and then fit some major reinforcements...

Drywall/plaster is waay easier to repair than the other options. Was a finish carpenter for 30yrs and built/repaired many winder stairs in my day. Wife wants me to fix our own, but I know how much work it is and can't be bothered ... "too busy working on shit old motorcycles, Hun!" |

Went in from underneath and found that one side had pretty much no support! No wonder it was moving and ended up split even though it was 1 inch thick! I have reinforced it from underneath with some 38mm battens with side bracing bolted into the brickwork on the side with little support. Will post pics later, but not moving now! :-)
