Bespoke staircases in Wellington
Bespoke Staircases around Wellington is a different job from one street to the next. Because the area is mainly Bath stone Georgian terraces, Levels farmhouses and Victorian seaside stock, no two openings measure quite the same. very high rainfall with standing water across the Levels is the local complication, and prolonged saturation causing frame distortion and sash binding is what it eventually causes. What you are paying for is setting out so the rise and going work on the day, not just on paper.
Every job is measured on site first, because drawn sizes and built sizes are seldom the same. A quick call or a photograph of the opening is usually enough to get you a price.
A detail specific to this area: Bath's World Heritage status makes joinery detail subject to close scrutiny.

Learn more →Rise, going and headroom in Wellington
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, Somerset“Dry-assembled in the workshop first, so installation day was genuinely uneventful.”
Verified client, Somerset“No squeaks at all a year on, which was the whole reason we replaced the old one.”
Verified client, SomersetWellington questions
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.
Do you take a deposit?
Not before the measured survey. A deposit is only requested once the survey is complete and you have approved the final schedule and price.
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.
