Bespoke staircases in Radlett
We take a fair volume of Open Riser Staircases work across Radlett, and almost none of it repeats. With garden city stock, Georgian market town frontages and commuter-belt detached housing making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. Set against moderate rainfall with cold inland frosts, most joinery here eventually shows frost damage to end grain and swelling on unbalanced-finished units. The detail we will not compromise on is open treads that still satisfy the 100mm sphere rule under Part K.
We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
One thing that catches people out here: garden city areas carry design codes that restrict window style changes.

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

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.
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.
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 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.
