Haldane UK was delighted to manufacture and supply a beautifully crafted bespoke continuous timber handrail and base rails for a luxury property in Lincolnshire.
This supply-only project showcased our expertise in precision machining, seamless design, and our collaborative approach when it comes to timber handrails.
The client required a 70x45mm Ellipse handrail manufactured in American White Oak and designed to run as continuously from the ground floor to the top landing.
The project saw Haldane manufacture over 43 metres of elliptical handrails together with sweeping bends, wreaths, and a stunning finished end as well as the corresponding base rail components.
With spindle positions already marked on the treads, our team carefully recorded these details during the digital survey
However, the landing spindle positions were left to our discretion—a critical decision, as we were also responsible for drilling the corresponding holes in both the handrail and base rail.
To ensure a flawless installation, our CAD team worked closely with the client, providing 3D digital renders to confirm the design intent and resolve any potential challenges in advance.
In addition to the precision manufacturing, Haldane’s team meticulously carried out the pre-jointing and hand-finishing of each component to allow for easy installation by the client.
This project is yet another example of how Haldane UK delivers exceptional craftsmanship, seamless design, and expert support, making even the most bespoke staircase projects a reality.

Haldane UK has designed, manufactured and supplied a bespoke American white oak spiral staircase which rose through 2 flights for the refurbishment of a manse in Scotland.
Working with sketched drawings supplied by the client, Haldane developed a solution which enabled the spiral staircase to be virtually free standing from ground floor to second floor with only fixings to each of the landing sections.
The staircase featured 32mm solid oak treads measuring 1000mm, 170mm diameter solid oak spacer components and was designed to provide a 20mm clear space from the treads to the wall.
Haldane also manufactured and supplied 10.5 linear metres of 60x50mm elliptical spiral handrail which was fixed to the wall via brackets and finished with a bull nose end.
To ensure the project was delivered on time and in budget, Haldane worked closely with the architectural joinery contractor throughout, presenting CAD drawings, organising the required loading calculations and overseeing the installation.
Haldane UK’s Managing Director, Forrester Adam, said “We have worked on countless bespoke spiral staircase projects through the UK however this was the first of its kind which was freestanding through 2 storeys and manufactured from solid timber.”
He continued, “So whilst we tend to work with finished architectural drawings, we were able to combine our skills with the client’s vision and take the project from concept to conclusion.”
