Bespoke staircases in Houghton Regis
Handrails and Balustrades across Houghton Regis tends to be driven by the condition of what is already there. Around here it is Victorian hat-trade terraces, chalk-belt cottages and large modern estates, and that alone rules out anything bought by the pallet. dry inland conditions with cold winter frost pockets is the local complication, and frost damage to end grain and paint cracking on older softwood units is what it eventually causes. This is really a job about continuous handrails whose wreaths and volutes flow without a visible break.
Each opening is recorded individually, since a terrace of identical houses rarely is. Get in touch and we will be straight with you about cost and timescale.
A detail specific to this area: Bedfordshire stock is dominated by repair and upgrade rather than heritage matching.

Learn more →Rise, going and headroom in Houghton Regis
Three numbers decide whether a staircase is comfortable or awkward, and they are the first things we measure.
Rise
Maximum 220mm per step for a private stair under Part K. Consistent to within 5mm across the whole flight, because the foot notices what the eye does not.
Going
Minimum 220mm. Rise and going together must satisfy the pitch rule, which is why a flight cannot simply be shortened to fit a smaller opening.
Headroom
2m measured vertically from the pitch line. This is the constraint that most often forces a winder instead of a straight flight.
What clients tell us
Feedback collected directly from completed projects. Full written references are available on request before you commit.
“The headroom was tight and they redesigned the winder rather than telling us it could not be done.”
Verified client, Bedfordshire“Dry-assembled in the workshop first, so installation day was genuinely uneventful.”
Verified client, Bedfordshire“No squeaks at all a year on, which was the whole reason we replaced the old one.”
Verified client, BedfordshireHoughton Regis questions
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
Do you fit, or supply only?
Both. Supply-only is common for trade and contractor clients. For private clients we usually recommend supply and fit, because responsibility for the fit and the finish then sits in one place.
Do you work in hardwood or softwood?
Both. Engineered hardwood is the default where movement or exposure is a concern, and slow-grown softwood is often the better value choice for painted work in sheltered positions. We will tell you which we would specify and why.
Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.
How do you handle glazing?
Standard double glazed units for most work, and slim-cavity units where a conservation officer has restricted sightlines. Single glazing with putty lines is available where the consent requires it.
