Bespoke staircases in Woodley
There is no standard version of Handrails and Balustrades in Woodley, which is rather the point. Given the Thames-side villas, Victorian terraces and dense 1980s commercial fit-out stock that dominates locally, standard sizes are the exception not the rule. Then there is river humidity and localised flood exposure, which reliably produces swelling and binding on ground-floor doors after flood or high water table events given enough seasons. What you are paying for is continuous handrails whose wreaths and volutes flow without a visible break.
Manufacture only starts once the survey figures are agreed with you in writing. 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 Woodley
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.
Do you take a deposit?
Not before the measured survey. A deposit is only requested once the survey is complete and you have approved the final schedule and price.
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.
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.
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.
