Bespoke staircases in Frinton-on-Sea
The Open Riser Staircases we make for Frinton-on-Sea is set out from a survey, not a size chart. You will find mostly estuary bungalows, 1930s ribbon development and timber-framed village stock in this area, and it moves as it ages. Because of the driest climate in the UK with sharp summer heat, we see shrinkage cracking and glazing bead failure from repeated drying cycles more often here than in most of the country. The value is in open treads that still satisfy the 100mm sphere rule under Part K, not in the timber bill.
We check on site before committing anything to the saw, and we query what does not add up. Photographs and approximate sizes are all we need to start.
A local consideration we always raise: low rainfall shifts the risk from rot toward movement and seal failure.

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, Essex“Dry-assembled in the workshop first, so installation day was genuinely uneventful.”
Verified client, Essex“No squeaks at all a year on, which was the whole reason we replaced the old one.”
Verified client, EssexFrinton-on-Sea questions
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.
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.
