Bespoke staircases in Crediton

Ask three firms about Cut String Staircases in Crediton and you will get three different answers. Property here runs to cob and thatch, Regency seaside terraces and Dartmoor granite cottages, and each of those brings its own set of dimensions. Because of the wettest large county in England with severe Atlantic exposure, we see sustained rot in cob-embedded frames and moor-exposed openings more often here than in most of the country. Where we put the effort is the cut string profile, where any inaccuracy shows immediately.

The survey happens before manufacture, which is why our units fit without packing or trimming. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.

Bear in mind for this area: cob walls move seasonally, so frames need tolerance built into the fixing detail.

What we cover locally

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

Rise, going and headroom in Crediton

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, Devon

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

Verified client, Devon

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

Crediton questions

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.

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.

Do you deliver nationwide?

Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.

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.

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.
