Cutting this newell post...

[mikeinthemidlands]

Hi chaps

I need a quick solution to this one please. The newell post that goes to the ground in the photos I want to remove, not completely but cut it higher up so I can board the back of the stairs.

Is there a solution or would I need a whole new staircase to achieve this?

Cheers

looks like you cant remove it it supports the landing

mikeinthemidlands, good evening.

That post looks like it is structural [as big-all above] i would not remove it.

From the images posted, the timber is supporting the stringer on the left as you go up the stair, also supporting the winders on the stair [the treads that turn around towards the upper floor]

Looking closely at the image, there is a load of glue? in there and screws to hold it all together.

Thanks for the advice guys.

What do you reckon it would cost for supply and fit of a new staircase self supporting perhaps the zigzag type?

Can you recommend any places in the Midlands that do such a thing?
