Bespoke staircases in Witney
If Staircase Renovation in Witney were straightforward, there would be a stock size for it. Because the area is mainly Cotswold stone cottages, Georgian college-town terraces and new-build fringe estates, no two openings measure quite the same. Because of river-valley mist and prolonged autumn damp, we see rot behind stone reveals where water tracks in at the joint more often here than in most of the country. This is really a job about curing movement and squeak rather than just covering it over.
Nothing is ordered until someone has stood in front of the opening with a tape. One call is usually enough for us to tell you roughly where the price will land.
A local consideration we always raise: listed and curtilage-listed properties are unusually common in the historic centres.

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

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.
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 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.
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.
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.
