Are these studs supporting the stairs?

Anonymousninja · 2 Aug 2018

Planning on building a cupboard under the stairs i was going to leave this section but the plasterboard was damp (Prob from cats water bowl spilling or something). So i thought i may as well make use of all the space under the stairs but i was wondering if any of these studs are supporting the stairs. I dont think they are but this is an old house so who nos. I would be happy just removing the front two and to be honest one of the front two has a big split in it so if they are offering support they wont be for much longer xD

Many thanks.

They are offering some intermediate support but not wholly or mainly. The top of the staircase at the landing is usually the main area of support by means of double (trimmer) joists running between two walls. Sometimes the landing newel post drops down to ground floor or is supported on a sleeper wall.

Can you post pics of the staircase as a whole?
