Bespoke staircases in Burgess Hill
The hard part of Staircase Parts in Burgess Hill is not the making, it is the measuring. Around here it is Sussex flint cottages, Regency seafront terraces and postwar new town housing, and that alone rules out anything bought by the pallet. Then there is strong coastal exposure with salt spray inland of the shoreline, which reliably produces finish erosion on seaward elevations within a few years of coating given enough seasons. This is really a job about matched components for anyone doing their own installation.
Manufacture only starts once the survey figures are agreed with you in writing. A quick call or a photograph of the opening is usually enough to get you a price.
One local point to factor in: seafront properties need a shorter recoating cycle than inland equivalents.

Learn more →Rise, going and headroom in Burgess Hill
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.”

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.
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.
How do you handle glazing?
Standard double glazed units for most work, and slim-cavity units where a conservation officer has restricted sightlines. Single glazing with putty lines is available where the consent requires it.
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.
