Bespoke staircases in Halesworth
We take a fair volume of Loft Conversion Stairs work across Halesworth, and almost none of it repeats. With colour-washed timber-framed cottages, wool-town merchant houses and coastal stock making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. The other factor is dry easterly climate with strong coastal salt exposure, which is why lime-render and timber junction failure where movement opens the seal is the most common reason people call us. The part that matters is fitting a compliant flight into an opening that barely allows one.
The site visit comes first, because assumptions made in an office get paid for on site. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
One thing that catches people out here: Lavenham-style timber framing needs specialist scribed repair, not replacement.

Learn more →Rise, going and headroom in Halesworth
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, SuffolkHalesworth questions
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.
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.
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.
Can you match an existing profile?
Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.
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.
