What we see in Norfolk

Half the Bespoke Staircases problems we fix in Norfolk started as a sizing assumption. Local stock is dominated by flint and pantile cottages, Georgian merchant houses and coastal resort stock, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. exposed North Sea easterlies with salt-laden wind is the local complication, and salt damage and finish erosion on east-facing coastal elevations is what it eventually causes. This is really a job about setting out so the rise and going work on the day, not just on paper.

Manufacture only starts once the survey figures are agreed with you in writing. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.

Worth knowing locally: flint walls give minimal reveal, so weathering detail carries the whole load.

Rise, going and headroom in Norfolk

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, Norfolk

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

Verified client, Norfolk

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

Norfolk questions

Do you cover Norfolk?

Yes. We cover the whole of Norfolk including Norwich, Great Yarmouth, King's Lynn, Thetford and the surrounding villages. Flint walls give minimal reveal, so weathering detail carries the whole load. Because exposed North Sea easterlies with salt-laden wind, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.

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.

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.

Do you take a deposit?

Not before the measured survey. A deposit is only requested once the survey is complete and you have approved the final schedule and price.

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.
