Bespoke staircases in Shoreham-by-Sea
We take a fair volume of Cut String Staircases work across Shoreham-by-Sea, and almost none of it repeats. Local property is overwhelmingly Sussex flint cottages, Regency seafront terraces and postwar new town housing, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. 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. Everything we do here comes back to the cut string profile, where any inaccuracy shows immediately.
The survey happens before manufacture, which is why our units fit without packing or trimming. Get in touch and we will be straight with you about cost and timescale.
One thing that catches people out here: seafront properties need a shorter recoating cycle than inland equivalents.

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.”

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.
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 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.
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 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.
