Bespoke staircases in Cotgrave

Most Cut String Staircases enquiries we take in Cotgrave start with an opening that is not a standard size. Local property is overwhelmingly coalfield terraces, Victorian lace-market frontages and interwar suburbs, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. moderate inland climate with cold damp winters is the local complication, and sash cord and box frame failure in long-neglected Victorian stock is what it eventually causes. What you are paying for is the cut string profile, where any inaccuracy shows immediately.

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.

One thing that catches people out here: the lace market and Park Estate carry dense listed-building coverage.

Rise, going and headroom in Cotgrave

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, Nottinghamshire

“Dry-assembled in the workshop first, so installation day was genuinely uneventful.”

Verified client, Nottinghamshire

“No squeaks at all a year on, which was the whole reason we replaced the old one.”

Cotgrave questions

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.

Do you fit, or supply only?

Both. Supply-only is common for trade and contractor clients. For private clients we usually recommend supply and fit, because responsibility for the fit and the finish then sits in one place.

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.

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.

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.
