Bespoke staircases in Hungerford
The hard part of Staircase Renovation in Hungerford is not the making, it is the measuring. Most of what we survey locally is Thames-side villas, Victorian terraces and dense 1980s commercial fit-out stock, which is not built to any modern module. The other factor is river humidity and localised flood exposure, which is why swelling and binding on ground-floor doors after flood or high water table events is the most common reason people call us. Our focus on this is curing movement and squeak rather than just covering it over.
Nothing is ordered until someone has stood in front of the opening with a tape. A quick call or a photograph of the opening is usually enough to get you a price.
One local point to factor in: flood-zone properties benefit from raised thresholds and marine-grade fixings.

Learn more →Rise, going and headroom in Hungerford
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, Berkshire“Dry-assembled in the workshop first, so installation day was genuinely uneventful.”
Verified client, Berkshire“No squeaks at all a year on, which was the whole reason we replaced the old one.”

Will the finish need maintaining?
A factory-applied microporous finish typically needs inspection every three to five years, sooner on exposed coastal elevations. Maintaining it is far cheaper than letting a coating fail and the timber take up water.
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.
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.
Is the timber certified?
All our stock is FSC certified and chain-of-custody documentation is supplied with the order, which most main contractors and specifiers now require for their records.
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.
