Other half is having quotes for a kitchen extension. The stairs come straight into the open plan dining room/kitchen, and the plan is to extend into the garden 3 metres.
Builders are quoting to wall off the stairwell and put a fire door at the bottom.
Do we need to do that? It'll look a bit shit, and it seems weird to have to turn the stairs into a closed stairwell with a new door...
The pillar in the middle of the pic will be going too
Can you fit one of these new fangled spray systems that detects and targets the source of a fire. I've seen a couple in houses recently to avoid problems with fire egress.
