Bespoke staircases in Horncastle
We take a fair volume of Loft Conversion Stairs work across Horncastle, and almost none of it repeats. Because the area is mainly Georgian Stamford limestone, fenland farmhouses and coastal resort bungalows, no two openings measure quite the same. The weather does the rest: low rainfall with severe exposed easterly wind off the North Sea here, and wind-driven rain ingress and sand abrasion on coastal finishes as the predictable result. What we concentrate on is fitting a compliant flight into an opening that barely allows one.
Nothing goes into manufacture until a surveyor has checked each opening on site. Get in touch and we will be straight with you about cost and timescale.
One local point to factor in: Stamford is one of England's most tightly controlled conservation towns.

Learn more →Rise, going and headroom in Horncastle
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
