Bespoke staircases in Gravesend
The Staircase Renovation we make for Gravesend is set out from a survey, not a size chart. You will find mostly weatherboarded Kentish cottages, oast conversions and coastal terraces in this area, and it moves as it ages. With salt-laden easterly wind along the coast in the mix, coating breakdown on exposed elevations and corrosion of ironmongery is a question of when rather than whether. The detail we will not compromise on is curing movement and squeak rather than just covering it over.
A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. Send us sizes and a photograph and we will come back with a fixed written price.
Something particular to this area: coastal exposure makes finish specification more important than timber species.

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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
