What we see in Greater Manchester
Ask three firms about Bespoke Staircases in Greater Manchester and you will get three different answers. With mill-era terraces, interwar semis and large commercial and retail frontages making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. Set against persistently high rainfall with limited drying windows, most joinery here eventually shows coating failure and rot on north-facing elevations that rarely dry out. The value is in setting out so the rise and going work on the day, not just on paper, not in the timber bill.
Every job is measured on site first, because drawn sizes and built sizes are seldom the same. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
Worth knowing locally: high commercial density supports substantial shopfitting and contract joinery demand.

Learn more →Rise, going and headroom in Greater Manchester
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 Manchester“Dry-assembled in the workshop first, so installation day was genuinely uneventful.”
Verified client, Greater Manchester“No squeaks at all a year on, which was the whole reason we replaced the old one.”

Do you cover Greater Manchester?
Yes. We cover the whole of Greater Manchester including Manchester, Bolton, Stockport, Oldham and the surrounding villages. High commercial density supports substantial shopfitting and contract joinery demand. Because persistently high rainfall with limited drying windows, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
How long does a typical order take?
Most made-to-size orders run six to ten weeks from survey to delivery. Conservation and heavily detailed work can take longer, and we confirm the lead time in writing at quotation rather than leaving it open.
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.
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.
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.
