What we see in Gloucestershire

Bespoke Staircases in Gloucestershire is rarely a catalogue job. Property here runs to Cotswold stone with stone-mullion openings and Regency Cheltenham terraces, and each of those brings its own set of dimensions. Because of high rainfall on the escarpment with valley frost pockets, we see decay where timber sits directly against saturated stone reveals more often here than in most of the country. In practice that means setting out so the rise and going work on the day, not just on paper.

The site visit comes first, because assumptions made in an office get paid for on site. Give us the basics and you will have a written figure, not a range that moves later.

Local factor worth flagging early: Cotswold planning policy is strict on window proportion and glazing bar width.

Rise, going and headroom in Gloucestershire

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, Gloucestershire

“Dry-assembled in the workshop first, so installation day was genuinely uneventful.”

Verified client, Gloucestershire

“No squeaks at all a year on, which was the whole reason we replaced the old one.”

Gloucestershire questions

Do you cover Gloucestershire?

Yes. We cover the whole of Gloucestershire including Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Cirencester and the surrounding villages. Cotswold planning policy is strict on window proportion and glazing bar width. Because high rainfall on the escarpment with valley frost pockets, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
