Cut String Staircases across Greater Manchester
The hard part of Cut String Staircases in Greater Manchester is not the making, it is the measuring. Local property is overwhelmingly mill-era terraces, interwar semis and large commercial and retail frontages, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. Because of persistently high rainfall with limited drying windows, we see coating failure and rot on north-facing elevations that rarely dry out more often here than in most of the country. What we concentrate on is the cut string profile, where any inaccuracy shows immediately.
The survey happens before manufacture, which is why our units fit without packing or trimming. Send us sizes and a photograph and we will come back with a fixed written price.
Something particular to this area: high commercial density supports substantial shopfitting and contract joinery demand.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Greater Manchester?
Yes. We cover the whole of Greater Manchester including Manchester, Bolton, Stockport, Oldham and the surrounding villages. High commercial density supports substantial shopfitting and contract joinery demand. Because persistently high rainfall with limited drying windows, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
How do you handle glazing?
Standard double glazed units for most work, and slim-cavity units where a conservation officer has restricted sightlines. Single glazing with putty lines is available where the consent requires it.
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.
