Bespoke staircases in Rawtenstall
If Staircase Parts in Rawtenstall were straightforward, there would be a stock size for it. Local property is overwhelmingly cotton-town terraces, Pennine stone cottages and Fylde coast resort stock, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. The weather does the rest: high rainfall inland and severe wind exposure on the Fylde coast here, and wind-driven rain penetration at meeting rails and sill joints as the predictable result. Our focus on this is matched components for anyone doing their own installation.
Manufacture only starts once the survey figures are agreed with you in writing. Photographs and approximate sizes are all we need to start.
One thing that catches people out here: coastal Fylde stock needs the same specification discipline as the South West.

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

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.
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.
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.
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.
