Cut String Staircases across Shropshire
What makes Cut String Staircases work in Shropshire is usually invisible once it is finished. Property here runs to medieval timber framing, Ironbridge industrial housing and border farmsteads, and each of those brings its own set of dimensions. The other factor is Welsh border rainfall with high sustained humidity, which is why fungal decay in poorly ventilated frame cavities is the most common reason people call us. The value is in the cut string profile, where any inaccuracy shows immediately, not in the timber bill.
We would rather spend an hour surveying than a week correcting. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
Worth knowing locally: one of the densest concentrations of listed timber-framed buildings in England.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Shropshire?
Yes. We cover the whole of Shropshire including Shrewsbury, Telford, Oswestry, Bridgnorth and the surrounding villages. One of the densest concentrations of listed timber-framed buildings in England. Because Welsh border rainfall with high sustained humidity, 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.
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.
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.
Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.
