Bespoke staircases in Weymouth

The hard part of Open Riser Staircases in Weymouth is not the making, it is the measuring. Local property is overwhelmingly Purbeck stone cottages, Victorian resort villas and thatched inland villages, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. Set against exposed Channel coast with intense salt and UV load, most joinery here eventually shows rapid finish failure and fixings corrosion within a few seasons on seafront stock. The part that matters is open treads that still satisfy the 100mm sphere rule under Part K.

The site visit comes first, because assumptions made in an office get paid for on site. Rough dimensions and a couple of photographs are enough for us to price it properly.

One local point to factor in: Jurassic Coast properties need stainless fixings as standard, not an upgrade.

What we cover locally

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

Rise, going and headroom in Weymouth

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.”

Weymouth 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 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.

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.
