Bespoke staircases in Painswick
Getting Bespoke Staircases right in Painswick depends on detail that a price list cannot capture. Local property is overwhelmingly Cotswold stone with stone-mullion openings and Regency Cheltenham terraces, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. With high rainfall on the escarpment with valley frost pockets in the mix, decay where timber sits directly against saturated stone reveals is a question of when rather than whether. The value is in setting out so the rise and going work on the day, not just on paper, not in the timber bill.
We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. Tell us what you are working with and we will put a fixed figure in writing.
Bear in mind for this area: Cotswold planning policy is strict on window proportion and glazing bar width.

Learn more →Rise, going and headroom in Painswick
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 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
