Bespoke staircases in Looe
What makes Cut String Staircases work in Looe is usually invisible once it is finished. You will find mostly granite fishermen's cottages, slate-hung terraces and modern coastal builds in this area, and it moves as it ages. the most severe salt and wind exposure in England is the local complication, and accelerated coating failure and salt crystallisation damage at glazing lines is what it eventually causes. Everything we do here comes back to the cut string profile, where any inaccuracy shows immediately.
Each opening is recorded individually, since a terrace of identical houses rarely is. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
Worth knowing locally: Cornish exposure grades mean specification should assume worst-case wind-driven rain.

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

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.
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.
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 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.
Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.
