Bespoke staircases in Oadby

Staircase Parts in Oadby is rarely a catalogue job. Because the area is mainly hosiery-era terraces, ironstone villages and large modern estates, no two openings measure quite the same. The other factor is dry inland climate with sharp seasonal swings, which is why movement cracking and bead shrinkage from repeated wet-dry cycling is the most common reason people call us. The detail we will not compromise on is matched components for anyone doing their own installation.

The measuring is done by the people responsible for the fit, which concentrates the mind. Give us the basics and you will have a written figure, not a range that moves later.

Worth knowing locally: ironstone villages have distinctive mullion proportions worth matching.

Rise, going and headroom in Oadby

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, Leicestershire

“Dry-assembled in the workshop first, so installation day was genuinely uneventful.”

Verified client, Leicestershire

“No squeaks at all a year on, which was the whole reason we replaced the old one.”

Oadby questions

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.

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.

Do you work in hardwood or softwood?

Both. Engineered hardwood is the default where movement or exposure is a concern, and slow-grown softwood is often the better value choice for painted work in sheltered positions. We will tell you which we would specify and why.

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.

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.
