Bespoke staircases in Milton Keynes
Most Bespoke Staircases enquiries we take in Milton Keynes start with an opening that is not a standard size. The housing here is largely Chiltern brick-and-flint cottages alongside large modern estates, and that shapes what will actually fit. The other factor is chalk-valley damp with cold air pooling overnight, which is why persistent condensation staining and cill rot on older single-glazed units is the most common reason people call us. What we concentrate on is setting out so the rise and going work on the day, not just on paper.
The survey happens before manufacture, which is why our units fit without packing or trimming. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
Worth knowing locally: AONB designation across much of the county tightens external alteration consent.

Learn more →Rise, going and headroom in Milton Keynes
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
