Bespoke staircases in Brampton

Cut String Staircases around Brampton is a different job from one street to the next. The building stock is Lakeland slate cottages, Georgian Carlisle stock and coastal industrial terraces, so we expect variation before we ever pick up a tape. Because of the highest rainfall in England with severe upland exposure, we see sustained saturation decay and finish failure within short recoating cycles more often here than in most of the country. Everything we do here comes back to the cut string profile, where any inaccuracy shows immediately.

The site visit comes first, because assumptions made in an office get paid for on site. A quick call or a photograph of the opening is usually enough to get you a price.

Worth knowing locally: Lake District National Park controls window style closely across the central valleys.

Survey visits in Brampton are usually booked within a week. There is no charge for the survey and no obligation to proceed.

Rise, going and headroom in Brampton

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, Cumbria

“Dry-assembled in the workshop first, so installation day was genuinely uneventful.”

Verified client, Cumbria

“No squeaks at all a year on, which was the whole reason we replaced the old one.”

Brampton questions

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.

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.
