Bespoke staircases in Sandy
Cut String Staircases across Sandy tends to be driven by the condition of what is already there. Property here runs to Victorian hat-trade terraces, chalk-belt cottages and large modern estates, and each of those brings its own set of dimensions. dry inland conditions with cold winter frost pockets sets the pace of decay, and frost damage to end grain and paint cracking on older softwood units is how it shows up first. The detail we will not compromise on is the cut string profile, where any inaccuracy shows immediately.
Every job is measured on site first, because drawn sizes and built sizes are seldom the same. Rough dimensions and a couple of photographs are enough for us to price it properly.
Worth knowing locally: Bedfordshire stock is dominated by repair and upgrade rather than heritage matching.

Learn more →Rise, going and headroom in Sandy
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.”

Can you match an existing profile?
Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.
What guarantee do you provide?
Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.
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.
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.
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.
