Bespoke staircases in Windermere
Bespoke Staircases across Windermere tends to be driven by the condition of what is already there. Local property is overwhelmingly Lakeland slate cottages, Georgian Carlisle stock and coastal industrial terraces, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. With the highest rainfall in England with severe upland exposure in the mix, sustained saturation decay and finish failure within short recoating cycles is a question of when rather than whether. The part that matters is setting out so the rise and going work on the day, not just on paper.
The measuring is done by the people responsible for the fit, which concentrates the mind. One call is usually enough for us to tell you roughly where the price will land.
Local factor worth flagging early: Lake District National Park controls window style closely across the central valleys.

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

Do you work in hardwood or softwood?
Both. Engineered hardwood is the default where movement or exposure is a concern, and slow-grown softwood is often the better value choice for painted work in sheltered positions. We will tell you which we would specify and why.
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.
How do you handle glazing?
Standard double glazed units for most work, and slim-cavity units where a conservation officer has restricted sightlines. Single glazing with putty lines is available where the consent requires it.
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.
