Bespoke staircases in Eccles

What makes Cut String Staircases work in Eccles is usually invisible once it is finished. The building stock is mill-era terraces, interwar semis and large commercial and retail frontages, so we expect variation before we ever pick up a tape. What accelerates it is persistently high rainfall with limited drying windows, and coating failure and rot on north-facing elevations that rarely dry out follows sooner than owners expect. This is really a job about the cut string profile, where any inaccuracy shows immediately.

The survey happens before manufacture, which is why our units fit without packing or trimming. Give us the basics and you will have a written figure, not a range that moves later.

Something particular to this area: high commercial density supports substantial shopfitting and contract joinery demand.

Rise, going and headroom in Eccles

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.”

Eccles questions

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.

Do you deliver nationwide?

Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.

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.

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.

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.
