Bespoke staircases in Chipping Campden

The hard part of Cut String Staircases in Chipping Campden is not the making, it is the measuring. You are mostly dealing with Cotswold stone with stone-mullion openings and Regency Cheltenham terraces around here, so openings vary more than people expect. What accelerates it is high rainfall on the escarpment with valley frost pockets, and decay where timber sits directly against saturated stone reveals follows sooner than owners expect. In practice that means the cut string profile, where any inaccuracy shows immediately.

The site visit comes first, because assumptions made in an office get paid for on site. Photographs and approximate sizes are all we need to start.

One thing that catches people out here: Cotswold planning policy is strict on window proportion and glazing bar width.

Rise, going and headroom in Chipping Campden

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.”

Chipping Campden questions

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.

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.
