Bespoke staircases in Wirksworth
Most Open Riser Staircases enquiries we take in Wirksworth start with an opening that is not a standard size. The building stock is Peak District gritstone cottages, mill housing and Georgian spa stock, so we expect variation before we ever pick up a tape. The other factor is upland cold with heavy snow loading and hard frost, which is why frost heave damage and swelling on unbalanced-finish joinery is the most common reason people call us. The detail we will not compromise on is open treads that still satisfy the 100mm sphere rule under Part K.
We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. One call is usually enough for us to tell you roughly where the price will land.
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 Wirksworth
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.”

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
