Bespoke staircases in Chippenham
There is no standard version of Open Riser Staircases in Chippenham, which is rather the point. With chalk-downland cob and thatch, Bath stone terraces and garrison housing making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. Then there is exposed downland wind with driving rain, which reliably produces wind-driven water forced past worn weatherseals given enough seasons. What we concentrate on is open treads that still satisfy the 100mm sphere rule under Part K.
We would rather spend an hour surveying than a week correcting. One call is usually enough for us to tell you roughly where the price will land.
Bear in mind for this area: cob and thatch properties need breathable finishes rather than film-forming coatings.

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

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.
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.
What guarantee do you provide?
Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.
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.
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.
