Bespoke staircases in Henley-on-Thames

What makes Cut String Staircases work in Henley-on-Thames is usually invisible once it is finished. Given the Cotswold stone cottages, Georgian college-town terraces and new-build fringe estates that dominates locally, standard sizes are the exception not the rule. river-valley mist and prolonged autumn damp is the local complication, and rot behind stone reveals where water tracks in at the joint 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. Tell us what you are working with and we will put a fixed figure in writing.

A local consideration we always raise: listed and curtilage-listed properties are unusually common in the historic centres.

Rise, going and headroom in Henley-on-Thames

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.”

Henley-on-Thames questions

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
