West Yorkshire is a county of millstone-grit terraces, back-to-backs and substantial Victorian villas. That is exactly the kind of building stock a hardwood staircase has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
Every hardwood staircase we make starts with a site survey and a set of setting-out drawings, not a catalogue page. We measure the opening in West Yorkshire, check the walls for wind and the floor for fall, then cut a carcass that fits the room you actually have.
How we build it
Moisture matters more than most people expect. Timber is conditioned before machining, and anything going into a kitchen, utility or bathroom is specified in materials that will not swell at the bottom edge. That is why the base of a well-made unit still closes cleanly after five winters.
Finish and materials
You can have it primed for your own decorator, sprayed in any RAL or heritage colour, or left in oiled timber. Oiled finishes can be refreshed at home; sprayed finishes are harder wearing and are what we recommend for kitchens and anything at knee height.

Fit & handover
We fit, scribe, adjust and touch in, then walk you through care and adjustment before we leave.
Straight answers
Hardwood Staircases in West Yorkshire — common questions
How long does a hardwood staircase take?
Eight to twelve weeks. The survey has to happen after the floor structure is final, because the finished floor level sets every riser in the flight.
Do hardwood stairs creak?
Not if they are wedged and glued properly and the treads are housed into the strings rather than sitting on them. Creaking is almost always a construction shortcut rather than a timber characteristic.
Do stairs have to meet building regulations?
Yes. Part K sets rise, going, headroom, handrail height and the 100mm sphere rule for gaps. We set out to those figures at drawing stage, because a stair that misses on headroom cannot be fixed afterwards.
Can you replace treads on an existing staircase?
Often yes — cladding an existing carcass in hardwood is a common and much cheaper option than a new flight, provided the underlying stair is sound and meets the regs.
Do I need to empty the room before you fit?
Clear the working wall and anything fragile. We bring dust sheets and a vacuum-extracted saw, but fitting makes dust and we would rather your furniture was out of the way. For kitchens we will agree a sequence with you so you keep a sink and a kettle for as long as possible.
