What we see in Derbyshire
There is no standard version of Bespoke Staircases in Derbyshire, which is rather the point. Given the Peak District gritstone cottages, mill housing and Georgian spa stock that dominates locally, standard sizes are the exception not the rule. Because of upland cold with heavy snow loading and hard frost, we see frost heave damage and swelling on unbalanced-finish joinery more often here than in most of the country. In practice that means setting out so the rise and going work on the day, not just on paper.
We check on site before committing anything to the saw, and we query what does not add up. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
Local factor worth flagging early: Peak Park properties face some of the tightest external alteration controls in England.

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

Do you cover Derbyshire?
Yes. We cover the whole of Derbyshire including Derby, Chesterfield, Ilkeston, Swadlincote and the surrounding villages. Peak Park properties face some of the tightest external alteration controls in England. Because upland cold with heavy snow loading and hard frost, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
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.
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.
