Bespoke staircases in Heathfield
People come to us about Handrails and Balustrades in Heathfield once the cheap option has already failed. Because the area is mainly Regency bows and bays, weatherboarded cottages and cliff-top villas, no two openings measure quite the same. severe salt exposure combined with strong UV on south-facing frontages sets the pace of decay, and UV breakdown of clear finishes and rapid degradation of putty lines is how it shows up first. Where we put the effort is continuous handrails whose wreaths and volutes flow without a visible break.
The survey happens before manufacture, which is why our units fit without packing or trimming. Tell us what you are working with and we will put a fixed figure in writing.
Worth knowing locally: Regency bow windows demand curved-glass and matched-profile joinery.

Learn more →Rise, going and headroom in Heathfield
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.”

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.
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
