Bespoke staircases in Pangbourne

Open Riser Staircases is one of those jobs in Pangbourne where the survey decides everything. Local property is overwhelmingly Thames-side villas, Victorian terraces and dense 1980s commercial fit-out stock, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. river humidity and localised flood exposure is the local complication, and swelling and binding on ground-floor doors after flood or high water table events is what it eventually causes. In practice that means open treads that still satisfy the 100mm sphere rule under Part K.

Nothing goes into manufacture until a surveyor has checked each opening on site. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.

Something particular to this area: flood-zone properties benefit from raised thresholds and marine-grade fixings.

Rise, going and headroom in Pangbourne

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.”

Pangbourne questions

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 long does a typical order take?

Most made-to-size orders run six to ten weeks from survey to delivery. Conservation and heavily detailed work can take longer, and we confirm the lead time in writing at quotation rather than leaving it open.

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.

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.

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.
