Bespoke staircases in Framlingham
Staircase Parts in Framlingham is rarely a catalogue job. You will find mostly colour-washed timber-framed cottages, wool-town merchant houses and coastal stock in this area, and it moves as it ages. Then there is dry easterly climate with strong coastal salt exposure, which reliably produces lime-render and timber junction failure where movement opens the seal given enough seasons. The part that matters is matched components for anyone doing their own installation.
We would rather spend an hour surveying than a week correcting. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
Bear in mind for this area: Lavenham-style timber framing needs specialist scribed repair, not replacement.

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