Bespoke staircases in Sedbergh
Bespoke Staircases in Sedbergh rewards patience at the setting-out stage. The housing here is largely Lakeland slate cottages, Georgian Carlisle stock and coastal industrial terraces, and that shapes what will actually fit. What accelerates it is the highest rainfall in England with severe upland exposure, and sustained saturation decay and finish failure within short recoating cycles follows sooner than owners expect. The value is in setting out so the rise and going work on the day, not just on paper, not in the timber bill.
We would rather spend an hour surveying than a week correcting. Tell us the problem rather than the solution and we will advise on both.
Something particular to this area: Lake District National Park controls window style closely across the central valleys.

Learn more →Rise, going and headroom in Sedbergh
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.”
Verified client, CumbriaSedbergh questions
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.
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.
