Planned visits, 44 miles from Norwich
Industrial access stairs, fire escapes, and staircases and balustrades for converted warehouses in King's Lynn. West Norfolk is a long run from our Norwich workshop, so each job is surveyed once, made complete and fitted in a booked visit.
King's Lynn, about 44 miles west of our Norwich workshop along the A47.
Metal staircases for West Norfolk
Nobody can pop back to King's Lynn for a forgotten bracket. So the whole stair is proved in Norwich before it is loaded.
Steel staircases in King's Lynn are wanted by the working town and the old town alike. Port sheds, food plants and factories on Hardwick and North Lynn need access stairs and fire escapes. By the Great Ouse, old warehouses becoming flats and offices want more finish.
For both, the method is shaped by the A47. A single survey gathers every dimension, photo and fixing detail. Stringers, treads, landings and balustrade panels are fabricated and bolted together on the workshop floor, checked against the survey, then taken apart for finishing. The fitting team travels over with every part, every bolt and spare packers, for an agreed run of days on site.

Send drawings or sizes first and a free estimate comes back without anyone travelling. Once the job is live we agree a survey date, and later a fitting date, that suit your site and ours.
Galvanised access stairs to platforms, silos, conveyors and roof plant at port, food and manufacturing sites around King's Lynn. Chequer plate treads and landings, handrails with a knee rail and toe plate where your drawing shows them, all in bolted sections a small team can lift.
Fire escape stairs for offices, units and upper floor flats, made to the widths and landings in your fire strategy. Hot dip galvanising is arranged with an outside works, and the flights bolt up on site with no hot work needed.
Steel staircases and balustrades for old warehouses and quayside buildings becoming flats, offices or places to eat. Plate stringers, timber-ready treads and slim bar or glass-ready infill sit well against old brick and heavy timber beams.
Figures first, fabrication second
An industrial access stair, a fire escape and a stair in a block of flats each fall under different guidance. Which document applies, and the rise, going, width, handrail and guarding heights and design loadings that follow from it, is decided by your designer, your site engineer or Building Control.
Swift Fabrication builds to those figures and does not certify compliance. Calculations for the supporting structure, or for fixings into old warehouse brickwork, come from your structural engineer. A return trip costs everyone, so we like every query on the drawings closed before we cut.
For a port or factory site, tell us the induction and permit rules when you first get in touch.
Pricing a King's Lynn stair
Drawings if they exist. If not, the height to each level served, the width, the space at the foot and head of the stair, and what the steel fixes to. Phone photos can save a wasted journey. Mention lorry access, lifting and the working hours allowed on site.
Travel is part of the price and it is shown plainly in the estimate. Survey and fitting are booked as full days to make the mileage count. Galvanising and powder coating go to outside finishers and need time of their own. Mobile and urgent repair work this far west is by arrangement, so ring and we will tell you what we can do.
Also in West Norfolk
The same team fabricates access platforms, walkways, steel gates and security railings for yards, and they can travel on the lorry that brings the stair. We come out to King's Lynn, Downham Market, Dersingham, Hunstanton and the Fen edge villages towards Terrington.
Estimates are free and the price is agreed before we start. Site managers, developers, builders and homeowners in West Norfolk are all welcome to call.

No. It is about 44 miles from Norwich along the A47, so we plan it: one survey, then a fitting visit booked in full days. Travel is priced openly in your estimate. What we cannot do at that distance is drop in at short notice.
Your designer, site engineer or Building Control. We fabricate to the rise, going, heights and loadings they give us and do not certify compliance, so settle the standard with them before the order is placed.
Yes. Because the stair arrives complete and already trial assembled, fitting can be booked into a shutdown or a weekend. Give us the dates early, with your induction and permit requirements, and we will prepare RAMS for the visit.
Yes, along with Dersingham, Terrington and the villages between. All are a long run from Norwich, so the King's Lynn rule applies: visits are arranged ahead and grouped to keep travel sensible.
