Bespoke staircases in Houghton-le-Spring
Cantilever Staircases in Houghton-le-Spring is rarely a catalogue job. Most of what we survey locally is Tyneside flats, Georgian Grainger Town frontages and coastal terraces, which is not built to any modern module. With cold North Sea exposure with high sustained wind in the mix, wind-driven rain penetration and rapid coating loss on seaward elevations is a question of when rather than whether. The value is in the hidden steelwork that makes a floating tread genuinely safe, not in the timber bill.
Nothing goes into manufacture until a surveyor has checked each opening 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: Tyneside flat stock has a distinctive paired-door detail worth replicating exactly.

Learn more →Rise, going and headroom in Houghton-le-Spring
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.”
Verified client, Tyne and WearHoughton-le-Spring 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.
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.
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 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.
Do you deliver nationwide?
Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.
