Bespoke staircases in Bathgate
Most Open Riser Staircases enquiries we take in Bathgate start with an opening that is not a standard size. Local stock is dominated by sandstone tenements, Georgian New Town terraces and post-war housing schemes, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. Add cold wet winters with strong westerly exposure to that and sash and case failure in tenement stock and cill decay at stone junctions becomes the usual trigger for replacement. Our focus on this is open treads that still satisfy the 100mm sphere rule under Part K.
We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
Local factor worth flagging early: Scottish sash and case construction differs from English box sash and needs matching.

Learn more →Rise, going and headroom in Bathgate
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, Scotland Central Belt“Dry-assembled in the workshop first, so installation day was genuinely uneventful.”
Verified client, Scotland Central Belt“No squeaks at all a year on, which was the whole reason we replaced the old one.”

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.
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.
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 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.
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.
