Bespoke staircases in Bishop's Castle

If Staircase Parts in Bishop's Castle were straightforward, there would be a stock size for it. Around here it is medieval timber framing, Ironbridge industrial housing and border farmsteads, and that alone rules out anything bought by the pallet. The other factor is Welsh border rainfall with high sustained humidity, which is why fungal decay in poorly ventilated frame cavities is the most common reason people call us. Everything we do here comes back to matched components for anyone doing their own installation.

We would rather spend an hour surveying than a week correcting. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.

A local consideration we always raise: one of the densest concentrations of listed timber-framed buildings in England.

What we cover locally

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

Rise, going and headroom in Bishop's Castle

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, Shropshire

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

Verified client, Shropshire

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

Bishop's Castle questions

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.

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 deliver nationwide?

Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.

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.

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.
