Bespoke staircases in Hexham
Nothing about Handrails and Balustrades in Hexham is settled until someone has been on site. Most of what we survey locally is border stone farmhouses, colliery terraces and coastal fishing cottages, which is not built to any modern module. Because of the harshest combination of cold, wind and salt in England, we see combined frost and salt damage stripping finishes within a few seasons more often here than in most of the country. Everything we do here comes back to continuous handrails whose wreaths and volutes flow without a visible break.
Each opening is recorded individually, since a terrace of identical houses rarely is. Rough dimensions and a couple of photographs are enough for us to price it properly.
A detail specific to this area: Northumberland exposure justifies the heaviest sections and stainless fixings.

Learn more →Rise, going and headroom in Hexham
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.”

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.
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.
