Im currentlt In the process of renovating a new house and one of the things that I am intending to do is the loft.
Now I know the regs regards head height etc for the new stairs going up into the loft which is fine I can just about manage to fit the stairs and gain the height needed where I want to put them.
The issue I'm having or trying to work out is
The house is a 1930's build which the stairs going from the ground to first floor have a head height of 1.75 at it shortest point.
The question I have is do the regs state they when I put the new stairs in what the minimum height is from the old stairs to the new stairs is?
As this would cause an issue
The only info I can seem to find is for the new loft stairs being 1.9m and 1.8 at the shoulder which is obviously above the new stairs.
The old stairs don't comply to the new regs now as the height isn't 2m
Could I continue with 1.8m as it would not be worse than before?
Or is there some info somewhere I can read
Thanks.
