What we see in Tyne and Wear
Getting Bespoke Staircases right in Tyne and Wear depends on detail that a price list cannot capture. Given the Tyneside flats, Georgian Grainger Town frontages and coastal terraces that dominates locally, standard sizes are the exception not the rule. What accelerates it is cold North Sea exposure with high sustained wind, and wind-driven rain penetration and rapid coating loss on seaward elevations follows sooner than owners expect. Our focus on this is setting out so the rise and going work on the day, not just on paper.
Manufacture only starts once the survey figures are agreed with you in writing. Rough dimensions and a couple of photographs are enough for us to price it properly.
Something particular to this area: Tyneside flat stock has a distinctive paired-door detail worth replicating exactly.

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

Do you cover Tyne and Wear?
Yes. We cover the whole of Tyne and Wear including Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, Gateshead, South Shields and the surrounding villages. Tyneside flat stock has a distinctive paired-door detail worth replicating exactly. Because cold North Sea exposure with high sustained wind, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
