Bespoke staircases in Slough
If you are looking at Cut String Staircases in Slough, the timber is only half the decision. The building stock is Thames-side villas, Victorian terraces and dense 1980s commercial fit-out stock, so we expect variation before we ever pick up a tape. The weather does the rest: river humidity and localised flood exposure here, and swelling and binding on ground-floor doors after flood or high water table events as the predictable result. Where we put the effort is the cut string profile, where any inaccuracy shows immediately.
We check on site before committing anything to the saw, and we query what does not add up. Tell us the problem rather than the solution and we will advise on both.
Local factor worth flagging early: flood-zone properties benefit from raised thresholds and marine-grade fixings.

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

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.
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.
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.
What if the opening is out of square?
Most older openings are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several points and the unit is manufactured to suit, which is the main reason we survey rather than work from the sizes given over the phone.
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.
