What we see in Bristol
Most Bespoke Staircases enquiries we take in Bristol start with an opening that is not a standard size. Property here runs to Georgian Clifton terraces, Victorian bay-fronted streets and converted warehouses, and each of those brings its own set of dimensions. The other factor is mild wet westerly weather with limited hard frost, which is why moss and algae growth followed by paint blistering on shaded elevations is the most common reason people call us. Our focus on this is setting out so the rise and going work on the day, not just on paper.
Nothing goes into manufacture until a surveyor has checked each opening on site. Tell us what you are working with and we will put a fixed figure in writing.
Bear in mind for this area: Clifton's Georgian stock frequently requires exact sash box replication.

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

Do you cover Bristol?
Yes. We cover the whole of Bristol including Bristol, Clifton, Bedminster, Horfield and the surrounding villages. Clifton's Georgian stock frequently requires exact sash box replication. Because mild wet westerly weather with limited hard frost, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
