Bespoke staircases in Newhaven

There is no standard version of Cut String Staircases in Newhaven, which is rather the point. 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 sets the pace of decay, and UV breakdown of clear finishes and rapid degradation of putty lines is how it shows up first. Our focus on this is the cut string profile, where any inaccuracy shows immediately.

We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. A quick call or a photograph of the opening is usually enough to get you a price.

A local consideration we always raise: Regency bow windows demand curved-glass and matched-profile joinery.

Rise, going and headroom in Newhaven

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.”

Newhaven questions

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 deliver nationwide?

Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.

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.

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.

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.
