Bespoke staircases in Longbenton
Most Open Riser Staircases enquiries we take in Longbenton start with an opening that is not a standard size. Property here runs to border stone farmhouses, colliery terraces and coastal fishing cottages, and each of those brings its own set of dimensions. 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. Our focus on this is open treads that still satisfy the 100mm sphere rule under Part K.
Every job is measured on site first, because drawn sizes and built sizes are seldom the same. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
One thing that catches people out here: Northumberland exposure justifies the heaviest sections and stainless fixings.

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

How long does a typical order take?
Most made-to-size orders run six to ten weeks from survey to delivery. Conservation and heavily detailed work can take longer, and we confirm the lead time in writing at quotation rather than leaving it open.
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.
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 deliver nationwide?
Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.
Will the finish need maintaining?
A factory-applied microporous finish typically needs inspection every three to five years, sooner on exposed coastal elevations. Maintaining it is far cheaper than letting a coating fail and the timber take up water.
