Bespoke staircases in Berinsfield

The hard part of Open Riser Staircases in Berinsfield is not the making, it is the measuring. With Cotswold stone cottages, Georgian college-town terraces and new-build fringe estates making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. Set against river-valley mist and prolonged autumn damp, most joinery here eventually shows rot behind stone reveals where water tracks in at the joint. Everything we do here comes back to open treads that still satisfy the 100mm sphere rule under Part K.

Each opening is recorded individually, since a terrace of identical houses rarely is. Photographs and approximate sizes are all we need to start.

Bear in mind for this area: listed and curtilage-listed properties are unusually common in the historic centres.

What we cover locally

Survey visits in Berinsfield are usually booked within a week. There is no charge for the survey and no obligation to proceed.

Rise, going and headroom in Berinsfield

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, Oxfordshire

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

Verified client, Oxfordshire

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

Berinsfield questions

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.

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 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.

What guarantee do you provide?

Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.

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.
