Bespoke staircases in Smethwick
People come to us about Open Riser Staircases in Smethwick once the cheap option has already failed. With Victorian industrial terraces, interwar municipal estates and large commercial frontages making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. Set against urban heat retention with high particulate load, most joinery here eventually shows surface soiling accelerating coating failure on street-facing elevations. In practice that means open treads that still satisfy the 100mm sphere rule under Part K.
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: dense commercial stock means shopfront and contract joinery volumes are high.

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

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.
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.
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.
