Bespoke staircases in Scarborough
Open Riser Staircases in Scarborough is rarely a catalogue job. You will find mostly medieval York frontages, Dales stone farmhouses and Victorian coastal resorts in this area, and it moves as it ages. The weather does the rest: severe North Sea exposure on the coast and upland cold in the Dales here, and salt and wind damage at the coast, frost damage inland as the predictable result. The detail we will not compromise on is open treads that still satisfy the 100mm sphere rule under Part K.
Every job is measured on site first, because drawn sizes and built sizes are seldom the same. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
A local consideration we always raise: York's historic core requires close matching of historic glazing bar profiles.

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

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.
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.
What guarantee do you provide?
Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.
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.
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.
