What we see in East Sussex
Bespoke Staircases in East Sussex is rarely a catalogue job. Because the area is mainly Regency bows and bays, weatherboarded cottages and cliff-top villas, no two openings measure quite the same. Then there is severe salt exposure combined with strong UV on south-facing frontages, which reliably produces UV breakdown of clear finishes and rapid degradation of putty lines given enough seasons. The part that matters is setting out so the rise and going work on the day, not just on paper.
We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. Send us sizes and a photograph and we will come back with a fixed written price.
Something particular to this area: Regency bow windows demand curved-glass and matched-profile joinery.

Learn more →Rise, going and headroom in East Sussex
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, East Sussex“Dry-assembled in the workshop first, so installation day was genuinely uneventful.”
Verified client, East Sussex“No squeaks at all a year on, which was the whole reason we replaced the old one.”

Do you cover East Sussex?
Yes. We cover the whole of East Sussex including Brighton, Hove, Eastbourne, Hastings and the surrounding villages. Regency bow windows demand curved-glass and matched-profile joinery. Because severe salt exposure combined with strong UV on south-facing frontages, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
