Bespoke staircases in Tenbury Wells

Open Riser Staircases in Tenbury Wells is rarely a catalogue job. Because the area is mainly black-and-white timber framing, Severn-side Georgian stock and orchard-belt cottages, no two openings measure quite the same. The other factor is Severn valley flooding and prolonged riverside damp, which is why base-of-frame decay following repeated flood inundation is the most common reason people call us. Everything we do here comes back to open treads that still satisfy the 100mm sphere rule under Part K.

A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. Get in touch and we will be straight with you about cost and timescale.

Bear in mind for this area: flood-affected stock is best served by sacrificial lower panels and removable beads.

Rise, going and headroom in Tenbury Wells

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, Worcestershire

“Dry-assembled in the workshop first, so installation day was genuinely uneventful.”

Verified client, Worcestershire

“No squeaks at all a year on, which was the whole reason we replaced the old one.”

Tenbury Wells questions

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.

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.
