What we see in Cambridgeshire
Bespoke Staircases is one of those jobs in Cambridgeshire where the survey decides everything. Most of what we survey locally is college-town Georgian stock, fenland brick farmhouses and rapid new-build growth, which is not built to any modern module. Then there is the driest region in the UK with exposed fen wind, which reliably produces shrinkage and joint opening rather than rot in most inland stock given enough seasons. The value is in setting out so the rise and going work on the day, not just on paper, not in the timber bill.
Nothing is ordered until someone has stood in front of the opening with a tape. One call is usually enough for us to tell you roughly where the price will land.
A detail specific to this area: college and listed stock in Cambridge demands exact historic replication.

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

Do you cover Cambridgeshire?
Yes. We cover the whole of Cambridgeshire including Cambridge, Peterborough, Huntingdon, Ely and the surrounding villages. College and listed stock in Cambridge demands exact historic replication. Because the driest region in the UK with exposed fen wind, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
