Bespoke staircases in Desborough
Ask three firms about Bespoke Staircases in Desborough and you will get three different answers. You will find mostly ironstone cottages, boot-and-shoe terraces and new town expansion housing in this area, and it moves as it ages. Set against dry inland conditions with limited coastal influence, most joinery here eventually shows seasonal shrinkage and glazing bead loosening on older painted units. Our focus on this is setting out so the rise and going work on the day, not just on paper.
The site visit comes first, because assumptions made in an office get paid for on site. Photographs and approximate sizes are all we need to start.
Something particular to this area: ironstone reveals absorb water and hold it against frames in wet spells.

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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
