Bespoke staircases in Ashton-under-Lyne
Nothing about Bespoke Staircases in Ashton-under-Lyne is settled until someone has been on site. Local property is overwhelmingly mill-era terraces, interwar semis and large commercial and retail frontages, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. The weather does the rest: persistently high rainfall with limited drying windows here, and coating failure and rot on north-facing elevations that rarely dry out as the predictable result. What you are paying for is setting out so the rise and going work on the day, not just on paper.
Nothing is ordered until someone has stood in front of the opening with a tape. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
One local point to factor in: high commercial density supports substantial shopfitting and contract joinery demand.

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 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.
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.
