Bespoke staircases in Peacehaven
Open Riser Staircases across Peacehaven tends to be driven by the condition of what is already there. Local stock is dominated by Regency bows and bays, weatherboarded cottages and cliff-top villas, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. Set against severe salt exposure combined with strong UV on south-facing frontages, most joinery here eventually shows UV breakdown of clear finishes and rapid degradation of putty lines. In practice that means open treads that still satisfy the 100mm sphere rule under Part K.
Nothing goes into manufacture until a surveyor has checked each opening on site. 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 Peacehaven
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 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.
How long does a typical order take?
Most made-to-size orders run six to ten weeks from survey to delivery. Conservation and heavily detailed work can take longer, and we confirm the lead time in writing at quotation rather than leaving it open.
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 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.
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.
