Bespoke staircases in Tiverton

Half the Bespoke Staircases problems we fix in Tiverton started as a sizing assumption. Local property is overwhelmingly cob and thatch, Regency seaside terraces and Dartmoor granite cottages, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. 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. What we concentrate on is setting out so the rise and going work on the day, not just on paper.

Nothing goes into manufacture until a surveyor has checked each opening on site. One call is usually enough for us to tell you roughly where the price will land.

A detail specific to this area: cob walls move seasonally, so frames need tolerance built into the fixing detail.

Rise, going and headroom in Tiverton

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.”

Tiverton questions

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.

Do you fit, or supply only?

Both. Supply-only is common for trade and contractor clients. For private clients we usually recommend supply and fit, because responsibility for the fit and the finish then sits in one place.

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.

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.

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.
