Bespoke staircases in Verwood
Ask three firms about Loft Conversion Stairs in Verwood and you will get three different answers. The building stock is Purbeck stone cottages, Victorian resort villas and thatched inland villages, so we expect variation before we ever pick up a tape. Then there is exposed Channel coast with intense salt and UV load, which reliably produces rapid finish failure and fixings corrosion within a few seasons on seafront stock given enough seasons. This is really a job about fitting a compliant flight into an opening that barely allows one.
The survey happens before manufacture, which is why our units fit without packing or trimming. Photographs and approximate sizes are all we need to start.
Bear in mind for this area: Jurassic Coast properties need stainless fixings as standard, not an upgrade.

Learn more →Rise, going and headroom in Verwood
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, Dorset“Dry-assembled in the workshop first, so installation day was genuinely uneventful.”
Verified client, Dorset“No squeaks at all a year on, which was the whole reason we replaced the old one.”
Verified client, DorsetVerwood questions
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 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.
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.
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.
How long does a typical order take?
Most made-to-size orders run six to ten weeks from survey to delivery. Conservation and heavily detailed work can take longer, and we confirm the lead time in writing at quotation rather than leaving it open.
