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
