Bespoke staircases in Guidepost
Cut String Staircases around Guidepost is a different job from one street to the next. With border stone farmhouses, colliery terraces and coastal fishing cottages making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. the harshest combination of cold, wind and salt in England is the local complication, and combined frost and salt damage stripping finishes within a few seasons is what it eventually causes. In practice that means the cut string profile, where any inaccuracy shows immediately.
Manufacture only starts once the survey figures are agreed with you in writing. A quick call or a photograph of the opening is usually enough to get you a price.
Bear in mind for this area: Northumberland exposure justifies the heaviest sections and stainless fixings.

Learn more →Rise, going and headroom in Guidepost
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.”
Verified client, NorthumberlandGuidepost questions
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
