Cut String Staircases across Kent
Cut String Staircases is one of those jobs in Kent where the survey decides everything. Most of what we survey locally is weatherboarded Kentish cottages, oast conversions and coastal terraces, which is not built to any modern module. Locally you are contending with salt-laden easterly wind along the coast, so coating breakdown on exposed elevations and corrosion of ironmongery is the fault we are called out to. The detail we will not compromise on is 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. Rough dimensions and a couple of photographs are enough for us to price it properly.
Bear in mind for this area: coastal exposure makes finish specification more important than timber species.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Kent?
Yes. We cover the whole of Kent including Maidstone, Canterbury, Ashford, Dartford and the surrounding villages. Coastal exposure makes finish specification more important than timber species. Because salt-laden easterly wind along the coast, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
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 work in hardwood or softwood?
Both. Engineered hardwood is the default where movement or exposure is a concern, and slow-grown softwood is often the better value choice for painted work in sheltered positions. We will tell you which we would specify and why.
