Bespoke staircases in Runcorn
Getting Handrails and Balustrades right in Runcorn depends on detail that a price list cannot capture. Because the area is mainly black-and-white revival frontages, Georgian market towns and large modern detached stock, no two openings measure quite the same. Add moderate rainfall with damp Mersey basin air to that and joint opening and glazing failure on large-format modern units becomes the usual trigger for replacement. This is really a job about continuous handrails whose wreaths and volutes flow without a visible break.
Manufacture only starts once the survey figures are agreed with you in writing. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
A detail specific to this area: high-value Cheshire stock frequently specifies engineered hardwood as standard.

Learn more →Rise, going and headroom in Runcorn
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.”

What guarantee do you provide?
Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.
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.
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.
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.
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.
