Bespoke staircases in Wool
Most Open Riser Staircases enquiries we take in Wool start with an opening that is not a standard size. Given the Purbeck stone cottages, Victorian resort villas and thatched inland villages that dominates locally, standard sizes are the exception not the rule. The weather does the rest: exposed Channel coast with intense salt and UV load here, and rapid finish failure and fixings corrosion within a few seasons on seafront stock as the predictable result. This is really a job about open treads that still satisfy the 100mm sphere rule under Part K.
The survey happens before manufacture, which is why our units fit without packing or trimming. A quick call or a photograph of the opening is usually enough to get you a price.
Something particular to this area: Jurassic Coast properties need stainless fixings as standard, not an upgrade.

Learn more →Rise, going and headroom in Wool
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, DorsetWool questions
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.
What guarantee do you provide?
Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.
