Bespoke staircases in Exmouth
Half the Loft Conversion Stairs problems we fix in Exmouth started as a sizing assumption. You are mostly dealing with cob and thatch, Regency seaside terraces and Dartmoor granite cottages around here, so openings vary more than people expect. Locally you are contending with the wettest large county in England with severe Atlantic exposure, so sustained rot in cob-embedded frames and moor-exposed openings is the fault we are called out to. Everything we do here comes back to fitting a compliant flight into an opening that barely allows one.
Nothing is ordered until someone has stood in front of the opening with a tape. Rough dimensions and a couple of photographs are enough for us to price it properly.
A local consideration we always raise: cob walls move seasonally, so frames need tolerance built into the fixing detail.

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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
