What we see in Cardiff and South Wales
Ask three firms about Bespoke Staircases in Cardiff and South Wales and you will get three different answers. With valleys terraces, Victorian maritime villas and civic Portland stone frontages making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. What accelerates it is very high rainfall with strong Atlantic and Bristol Channel exposure, and prolonged wetting decay and finish failure on valley-facing elevations follows sooner than owners expect. What we concentrate on is setting out so the rise and going work on the day, not just on paper.
We check on site before committing anything to the saw, and we query what does not add up. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
Local factor worth flagging early: valleys terraces share a repeating bay and sash format that suits batch manufacture.

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, Cardiff and South Wales“Dry-assembled in the workshop first, so installation day was genuinely uneventful.”
Verified client, Cardiff and South Wales“No squeaks at all a year on, which was the whole reason we replaced the old one.”
Verified client, Cardiff and South WalesCardiff and South Wales questions
Do you cover Cardiff and South Wales?
Yes. We cover the whole of Cardiff and South Wales including Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, Barry and the surrounding villages. Valleys terraces share a repeating bay and sash format that suits batch manufacture. Because very high rainfall with strong Atlantic and Bristol Channel exposure, 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.
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.
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 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.
