Cut String Staircases across Devon
The Cut String Staircases we make for Devon is set out from a survey, not a size chart. The building stock is cob and thatch, Regency seaside terraces and Dartmoor granite cottages, so we expect variation before we ever pick up a tape. Then there is the wettest large county in England with severe Atlantic exposure, which reliably produces sustained rot in cob-embedded frames and moor-exposed openings given enough seasons. This is really a job about the cut string profile, where any inaccuracy shows immediately.
The site visit comes first, because assumptions made in an office get paid for on site. Send us sizes and a photograph and we will come back with a fixed written price.
One local point to factor in: cob walls move seasonally, so frames need tolerance built into the fixing detail.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Devon?
Yes. We cover the whole of Devon including Exeter, Plymouth, Torquay, Paignton and the surrounding villages. Cob walls move seasonally, so frames need tolerance built into the fixing detail. Because the wettest large county in England with severe Atlantic exposure, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
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.
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.
