What we see in Northumberland
Half the Bespoke Staircases problems we fix in Northumberland started as a sizing assumption. Local stock is dominated by border stone farmhouses, colliery terraces and coastal fishing cottages, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. What accelerates it is the harshest combination of cold, wind and salt in England, and combined frost and salt damage stripping finishes within a few seasons follows sooner than owners expect. The part that matters is setting out so the rise and going work on the day, not just on paper.
Every job is measured on site first, because drawn sizes and built sizes are seldom the same. Tell us the problem rather than the solution and we will advise on both.
Worth knowing locally: Northumberland exposure justifies the heaviest sections and stainless fixings.

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

Do you cover Northumberland?
Yes. We cover the whole of Northumberland including Blyth, Cramlington, Ashington, Morpeth and the surrounding villages. Northumberland exposure justifies the heaviest sections and stainless fixings. Because the harshest combination of cold, wind and salt in England, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
