Bespoke staircases in Billingshurst
Open Riser Staircases across Billingshurst tends to be driven by the condition of what is already there. Given the Sussex flint cottages, Regency seafront terraces and postwar new town housing that dominates locally, standard sizes are the exception not the rule. Because of strong coastal exposure with salt spray inland of the shoreline, we see finish erosion on seaward elevations within a few years of coating more often here than in most of the country. Our focus on this is open treads that still satisfy the 100mm sphere rule under Part K.
The measuring is done by the people responsible for the fit, which concentrates the mind. Photographs and approximate sizes are all we need to start.
Something particular to this area: seafront properties need a shorter recoating cycle than inland equivalents.

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

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.
Will the finish need maintaining?
A factory-applied microporous finish typically needs inspection every three to five years, sooner on exposed coastal elevations. Maintaining it is far cheaper than letting a coating fail and the timber take up water.
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.
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.
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.
