Bespoke staircases in Highworth
We take a fair volume of Cantilever Staircases work across Highworth, and almost none of it repeats. Local property is overwhelmingly chalk-downland cob and thatch, Bath stone terraces and garrison housing, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. The weather does the rest: exposed downland wind with driving rain here, and wind-driven water forced past worn weatherseals as the predictable result. The part that matters is the hidden steelwork that makes a floating tread genuinely safe.
We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. Tell us what you are working with and we will put a fixed figure in writing.
One thing that catches people out here: cob and thatch properties need breathable finishes rather than film-forming coatings.

Learn more →Rise, going and headroom in Highworth
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
