Bespoke staircases in Hartlepool
Most Open Riser Staircases enquiries we take in Hartlepool start with an opening that is not a standard size. Because the area is mainly colliery terraces, Georgian Durham city stock and Pennine stone housing, no two openings measure quite the same. cold upland winters with heavy rainfall sets the pace of decay, and frost and saturation damage on unmaintained painted softwood is how it shows up first. The value is in open treads that still satisfy the 100mm sphere rule under Part K, not in the timber bill.
Nothing goes into manufacture until a surveyor has checked each opening on site. Photographs and approximate sizes are all we need to start.
Local factor worth flagging early: Durham's cathedral setting carries World Heritage-level design scrutiny.

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

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.
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.
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.
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.
