Staircases.
Fed up of using a ladder to get to the loft so planning on a staircase. Before I bring in people I have to pay to check regs etc, anyone want to hazard a guess if it's possible without knocking down a wall?
This is the space I've got to work with on the landing between the main staircase and a wall into the main bedroom.
Hatch: 740mm x 760mm (planning to check to see it can be safely enlarged so I have the 2m headroom all the way up).
Vertical: 2850mm (Landing floor to loft floor)
Horizontal: 1750mm (Landing wall to bannister)
Hypotenuse: 3344mm (Loft floor to bannister diagonal)
Depth: 920mm (Wall to point parallel with bannister on landing in case it makes a difference?)
Any guidance on what kind of stairs are permitted / what aren't etc?
My understanding is it needs a door at the top but beyond that, is it even possible to have a 'safe'/saleable one at that angle?
