Bespoke staircases in Thrapston
Loft Conversion Stairs in Thrapston is rarely a catalogue job. The building stock is ironstone cottages, boot-and-shoe terraces and new town expansion housing, so we expect variation before we ever pick up a tape. Because of dry inland conditions with limited coastal influence, we see seasonal shrinkage and glazing bead loosening on older painted units more often here than in most of the country. What you are paying for is fitting a compliant flight into an opening that barely allows one.
The survey happens before manufacture, which is why our units fit without packing or trimming. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
One thing that catches people out here: ironstone reveals absorb water and hold it against frames in wet spells.

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 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.
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.
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.
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 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.
