Bespoke staircases in Dursley
Ask three firms about Handrails and Balustrades in Dursley and you will get three different answers. Property here runs to Cotswold stone with stone-mullion openings and Regency Cheltenham terraces, and each of those brings its own set of dimensions. The exposure here is high rainfall on the escarpment with valley frost pockets, which is exactly the condition that causes decay where timber sits directly against saturated stone reveals. Everything we do here comes back to continuous handrails whose wreaths and volutes flow without a visible break.
Manufacture only starts once the survey figures are agreed with you in writing. Give us the basics and you will have a written figure, not a range that moves later.
A local consideration we always raise: Cotswold planning policy is strict on window proportion and glazing bar width.

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

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.
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.
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.
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.
