Professional Staircase Measuring Services UK: How CJG Guarantees a Perfect Fit
Professional Staircase Measuring Services UK: How CJG Guarantees a Perfect Fit
You can patch plaster. You can shift a pipe. But if your staircase doesn’t fit? That’s weeks of disruption, delays, and rework you never planned for...
We’ve seen what happens when others get it wrong. A staircase installed even 20mm off can lead to failed inspections, clashing plasterwork, or hold-ups that disrupt every trade on the schedule. Once the stairwell is built, your options shrink fast.
That’s why Central Joinery Group developed a two-visit measuring system that ensures your staircase fits perfectly. No rework. No surprises. Just precision-built results that slot straight into place.
Our Proven 2-Stage Measuring System for Bespoke Staircases
We specialise in crafting bespoke staircases that don’t just look exceptional but fit flawlessly, first time. Our two-stage site measuring system is a key part of how we deliver that level of quality and confidence.
This isn’t a guesswork process. It’s a method trusted by developers, architects, and self-builders who want the staircase to be a focal point.
Stage 1: Early Site Visit (Before Stairwell Build)
We visit the site before any stairwell is built, giving your design team a head start. During this stage, we:
- Take tailored measurements based on your plans and build environment
- Advise on optimal stairwell size, opening placement, and floor-to-floor alignment
- Ensure the structure is framed around the staircase, not the other way around

This pre-emptive step is where real problems are prevented and great results begin.
Stage 2: Final Measurement Visit (Once Formed)
Once your stairwell is in place, we return to:
- Take final site measurements with precision
- Check for compliance with Building Regulations and usability standards
- Lock in the exact specifications for manufacturing
Every bespoke staircase we produce is CNC-machined, dry-fit tested, and delivered ready to install without rework or risk.
Staircases are not one-size-fits-all. That’s why our process is not either.

While others build to generic templates, we design every staircase to your space, your specification, and your schedule. That is why our clients, from national housebuilders to self-build homeowners, trust us with the most visible, structurally sensitive part of their project.

Broadstone Barns
Broadstone Barns is no ordinary project. Set in the heart of the Derbyshire countryside, this luxury holiday retreat combines high-end finishes with rustic architectural character. Every detail had to be just right, especially the staircase, which was central to both the layout and the aesthetic.
With multiple premium barn conversions being delivered under tight schedules, there was zero margin for error. The developers needed a partner who could deliver more than just beautiful joinery. They needed precision, planning, and peace of mind.
The CJG Advantage
They turned to Central Joinery Group for one reason: confidence. Our two-visit measuring system and reputation for flawless execution made us the obvious choice for a job where the staircase could not hold anything back. Not the trades. Not the design. Not the timeline.
Our Approach
- Early-stage visit during the shell build to advise on stairwell dimensions and gallery landing layout
- Collaborative design development to ensure materials, form, and structure worked in harmony
- Final site measurement post-formation to lock in precise specifications and avoid any onsite modifications
The Result
A bold, bespoke staircase that became a visual focal point. Installed without delay, compromise, or correction. Delivered dry-fit tested, fully aligned with the structure, and ready to perform from day one.
