Bespoke staircases in Poynton
The Bespoke Staircases we make for Poynton is set out from a survey, not a size chart. Local stock is dominated by black-and-white revival frontages, Georgian market towns and large modern detached stock, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. The weather does the rest: moderate rainfall with damp Mersey basin air here, and joint opening and glazing failure on large-format modern units as the predictable result. In practice that means setting out so the rise and going work on the day, not just on paper.
Nothing is ordered until someone has stood in front of the opening with a tape. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
Local factor worth flagging early: high-value Cheshire stock frequently specifies engineered hardwood as standard.

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

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.
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.
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 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.
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.
