Bespoke staircases in Wadhurst
Ask three firms about Bespoke Staircases in Wadhurst and you will get three different answers. Given the Regency bows and bays, weatherboarded cottages and cliff-top villas that dominates locally, standard sizes are the exception not the rule. 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. Our focus on this is setting out so the rise and going work on the day, not just on paper.
Each opening is recorded individually, since a terrace of identical houses rarely is. Tell us the problem rather than the solution and we will advise on both.
A local consideration we always raise: Regency bow windows demand curved-glass and matched-profile joinery.

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

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 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.
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.
Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.
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.
