Bespoke staircases in St Albans
There is no standard version of Cut String Staircases in St Albans, which is rather the point. The building stock is garden city stock, Georgian market town frontages and commuter-belt detached housing, so we expect variation before we ever pick up a tape. moderate rainfall with cold inland frosts sets the pace of decay, and frost damage to end grain and swelling on unbalanced-finished units is how it shows up first. The value is in the cut string profile, where any inaccuracy shows immediately, not in the timber bill.
The survey happens before manufacture, which is why our units fit without packing or trimming. Ask us for a figure and you will get one, with the lead time stated alongside it.
Bear in mind for this area: garden city areas carry design codes that restrict window style changes.

Learn more →Rise, going and headroom in St Albans
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.”
Verified client, HertfordshireSt Albans 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.
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 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.
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.
What guarantee do you provide?
Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.
