Bespoke staircases in Higham Ferrers
If you are looking at Cantilever Staircases in Higham Ferrers, the timber is only half the decision. Around here it is ironstone cottages, boot-and-shoe terraces and new town expansion housing, and that alone rules out anything bought by the pallet. dry inland conditions with limited coastal influence is the local complication, and seasonal shrinkage and glazing bead loosening on older painted units is what it eventually causes. Our focus on this is the hidden steelwork that makes a floating tread genuinely safe.
A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
Bear in mind for this area: ironstone reveals absorb water and hold it against frames in wet spells.

Learn more →Rise, going and headroom in Higham Ferrers
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.”

Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.
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.
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.
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 deliver nationwide?
Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.
