Bespoke staircases in Lewes
Handrails and Balustrades is one of those jobs in Lewes where the survey decides everything. You will find mostly Regency bows and bays, weatherboarded cottages and cliff-top villas in this area, and it moves as it ages. severe salt exposure combined with strong UV on south-facing frontages is the local complication, and UV breakdown of clear finishes and rapid degradation of putty lines is what it eventually causes. In practice that means continuous handrails whose wreaths and volutes flow without a visible break.
Every job is measured on site first, because drawn sizes and built sizes are seldom the same. Ask us for a figure and you will get one, with the lead time stated alongside it.
A detail specific to this area: Regency bow windows demand curved-glass and matched-profile joinery.

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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
