Bespoke staircases in Yeovil

Getting Open Riser Staircases right in Yeovil depends on detail that a price list cannot capture. The building stock is Bath stone Georgian terraces, Levels farmhouses and Victorian seaside stock, so we expect variation before we ever pick up a tape. Then there is very high rainfall with standing water across the Levels, which reliably produces prolonged saturation causing frame distortion and sash binding given enough seasons. Everything we do here comes back to open treads that still satisfy the 100mm sphere rule under Part K.

A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. Ask us for a figure and you will get one, with the lead time stated alongside it.

One thing that catches people out here: Bath's World Heritage status makes joinery detail subject to close scrutiny.

What we cover locally

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

Rise, going and headroom in Yeovil

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.”

Yeovil 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 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.

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.

What guarantee do you provide?

Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.

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.
