A purpose made cut and mitred string staircase represents the perfect blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern design for London properties. As manufacturers with over 40 years of experience, we’ve refined the process of creating these distinctive staircases that combine structural integrity with elegant aesthetics.
A cut and mitred string staircase features:
Exposed stair treads and risers visible from the side profile
Precisely mitred joints where treads and risers meet the string
Custom-cut string that follows the exact profile of each step
Clean, architectural lines that create a distinctive visual feature
Typically manufactured from high-quality hardwoods or premium softwoods
Our cut and mitred string staircases are produced through a balanced approach:
Initial design and measurements captured using advanced CAD systems
Computer numerical control (CNC) technology for precise cutting of string components
Hand-crafted joinery techniques for mitred connections
Traditional woodworking methods for finishing and detail work
Quality control inspections at each manufacturing stage
These staircases offer significant advantages for London homes:
Space efficiency – ideal for period properties and modern London homes alike
Visual openness that maximizes light flow – important in terraced houses
Customizable designs that complement both traditional Georgian/Victorian and contemporary architecture
Ability to maximize headroom – essential in London’s converted properties
