Bespoke staircases in Amersham
Cantilever Staircases is one of those jobs in Amersham where the survey decides everything. The building stock is Chiltern brick-and-flint cottages alongside large modern estates, so we expect variation before we ever pick up a tape. Because of chalk-valley damp with cold air pooling overnight, we see persistent condensation staining and cill rot on older single-glazed units more often here than in most of the country. What we concentrate on is the hidden steelwork that makes a floating tread genuinely safe.
We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. Get in touch and we will be straight with you about cost and timescale.
Local factor worth flagging early: AONB designation across much of the county tightens external alteration consent.

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

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.
Do you deliver nationwide?
Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.
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.
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.
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.
