Bespoke staircases in Leiston
Staircase Renovation in Leiston is rarely a catalogue job. Because the area is mainly colour-washed timber-framed cottages, wool-town merchant houses and coastal stock, no two openings measure quite the same. Because of dry easterly climate with strong coastal salt exposure, we see lime-render and timber junction failure where movement opens the seal more often here than in most of the country. The detail we will not compromise on is curing movement and squeak rather than just covering it over.
We would rather spend an hour surveying than a week correcting. Rough dimensions and a couple of photographs are enough for us to price it properly.
Something particular to this area: Lavenham-style timber framing needs specialist scribed repair, not replacement.

Learn more →Rise, going and headroom in Leiston
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.”

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.
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.
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.
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 price from drawings?
Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.
