Bespoke staircases in Whitstable

Getting Cut String Staircases right in Whitstable depends on detail that a price list cannot capture. Local property is overwhelmingly weatherboarded Kentish cottages, oast conversions and coastal terraces, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. salt-laden easterly wind along the coast is the local complication, and coating breakdown on exposed elevations and corrosion of ironmongery is what it eventually causes. The detail we will not compromise on is the cut string profile, where any inaccuracy shows immediately.

Manufacture only starts once the survey figures are agreed with you in writing. A quick call or a photograph of the opening is usually enough to get you a price.

Something particular to this area: coastal exposure makes finish specification more important than timber species.

Rise, going and headroom in Whitstable

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.”

Whitstable questions

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.

How do you handle glazing?

Standard double glazed units for most work, and slim-cavity units where a conservation officer has restricted sightlines. Single glazing with putty lines is available where the consent requires it.

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.
