Bespoke staircases in Kingston upon Thames
Loft Conversion Stairs in Kingston upon Thames is rarely a catalogue job. You are mostly dealing with Victorian and Edwardian terraces, mansion blocks and post-war infill around here, so openings vary more than people expect. high pollution load and sheltered urban humidity is the local complication, and paint failure on south-facing sashes and rot at the bottom rail is what it eventually causes. In practice that means fitting a compliant flight into an opening that barely allows one.
A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. Get in touch and we will be straight with you about cost and timescale.
A detail specific to this area: large numbers of properties sit in conservation areas with like-for-like replacement conditions.

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, Greater London“Dry-assembled in the workshop first, so installation day was genuinely uneventful.”
Verified client, Greater London“No squeaks at all a year on, which was the whole reason we replaced the old one.”
Verified client, Greater LondonKingston upon Thames 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
