Bespoke staircases in Alford
Ask three firms about Open Riser Staircases in Alford and you will get three different answers. You will find mostly Georgian Stamford limestone, fenland farmhouses and coastal resort bungalows in this area, and it moves as it ages. low rainfall with severe exposed easterly wind off the North Sea is the local complication, and wind-driven rain ingress and sand abrasion on coastal finishes is what it eventually causes. What you are paying for is open treads that still satisfy the 100mm sphere rule under Part K.
Nothing is ordered until someone has stood in front of the opening with a tape. Give us the basics and you will have a written figure, not a range that moves later.
A detail specific to this area: Stamford is one of England's most tightly controlled conservation towns.

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

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 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.
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 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 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.
