Bespoke staircases in Newent

Getting Handrails and Balustrades right in Newent depends on detail that a price list cannot capture. Local stock is dominated by Cotswold stone with stone-mullion openings and Regency Cheltenham terraces, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. Then there is high rainfall on the escarpment with valley frost pockets, which reliably produces decay where timber sits directly against saturated stone reveals given enough seasons. In practice that means continuous handrails whose wreaths and volutes flow without a visible break.

Every job is measured on site first, because drawn sizes and built sizes are seldom the same. Tell us the problem rather than the solution and we will advise on both.

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

What we cover locally

Survey visits in Newent are usually booked within a week. There is no charge for the survey and no obligation to proceed.

Rise, going and headroom in Newent

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.”

Newent questions

What if the opening is out of square?

Most older openings are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several points and the unit is manufactured to suit, which is the main reason we survey rather than work from the sizes given over the phone.

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.

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.

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.

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.
