What we do and how we do it
Getting Loft Conversion Stairs right in the UK depends on detail that a price list cannot capture. Given the a mix of period and modern stock that dominates locally, standard sizes are the exception not the rule. The other factor is the full range of UK exposure conditions, which is why coating failure followed by rot at the joints is the most common reason people call us. Everything we do here comes back to fitting a compliant flight into an opening that barely allows one.
The survey happens before manufacture, which is why our units fit without packing or trimming. A quick call or a photograph of the opening is usually enough to get you a price.
A local consideration we always raise: specification should always be matched to local exposure.
Specification
- Engineered hardwood or slow-grown softwood, FSC certified
- Factory-applied microporous finish in any RAL or heritage colour
- Sealed units, slim-cavity units or single glazing with putty line
- Manufactured to survey dimensions, not to a stock size chart
- Delivered UK-wide with chain-of-custody paperwork
Rise, going and headroom
Three numbers decide whether a staircase is comfortable or awkward, and they are the first things we measure.
Rise
Maximum 220mm per step for a private stair under Part K. Consistent to within 5mm across the whole flight, because the foot notices what the eye does not.
Going
Minimum 220mm. Rise and going together must satisfy the pitch rule, which is why a flight cannot simply be shortened to fit a smaller opening.
Headroom
2m measured vertically from the pitch line. This is the constraint that most often forces a winder instead of a straight flight.
Set out from your rise
Every flight is calculated from the actual floor-to-floor height, measured on site.
Part K compliant
Rise, going, headroom and guarding checked against Building Regulations before manufacture.
Workshop made
Assembled and dry-fitted in the workshop before it ever comes to site.
Installed by our own fitters
The people who fit it work for us, so responsibility does not get passed around.
What clients tell us
Feedback collected directly from completed projects. Full written references are available on request before you commit.
“The headroom was tight and they redesigned the winder rather than telling us it could not be done.”
Verified client, UK-wide“Dry-assembled in the workshop first, so installation day was genuinely uneventful.”
Verified client, UK-wide“No squeaks at all a year on, which was the whole reason we replaced the old one.”
Verified client, UK-wideWhat happens next
Four steps from first call to installed joinery. No pressure at any stage.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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 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.
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 take a deposit?
Not before the measured survey. A deposit is only requested once the survey is complete and you have approved the final schedule and price.
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.
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.
