Cut String Staircases across County Durham
There is no standard version of Cut String Staircases in County Durham, which is rather the point. Around here it is colliery terraces, Georgian Durham city stock and Pennine stone housing, and that alone rules out anything bought by the pallet. The weather does the rest: cold upland winters with heavy rainfall here, and frost and saturation damage on unmaintained painted softwood as the predictable result. This is really a job about the cut string profile, where any inaccuracy shows immediately.
The survey happens before manufacture, which is why our units fit without packing or trimming. Ask us for a figure and you will get one, with the lead time stated alongside it.
One thing that catches people out here: Durham's cathedral setting carries World Heritage-level design scrutiny.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover County Durham?
Yes. We cover the whole of County Durham including Durham, Darlington, Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees and the surrounding villages. Durham's cathedral setting carries World Heritage-level design scrutiny. Because cold upland winters with heavy rainfall, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
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.
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.
