Bespoke staircases in Lancing
The hard part of Open Riser Staircases in Lancing is not the making, it is the measuring. You are mostly dealing with Sussex flint cottages, Regency seafront terraces and postwar new town housing around here, so openings vary more than people expect. The exposure here is strong coastal exposure with salt spray inland of the shoreline, which is exactly the condition that causes finish erosion on seaward elevations within a few years of coating. In practice that means 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. Tell us what you are working with and we will put a fixed figure in writing.
Local factor worth flagging early: seafront properties need a shorter recoating cycle than inland equivalents.

Learn more →Rise, going and headroom in Lancing
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.”

Do you fit, or supply only?
Both. Supply-only is common for trade and contractor clients. For private clients we usually recommend supply and fit, because responsibility for the fit and the finish then sits in one place.
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.
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 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 deliver nationwide?
Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.
