Hi - first post this so here goes.....!
To allow the a first floor bathroom to increase in size I’d like to modify the existing staircase we have to incorporate a 3 step winder at the top of the flight. There is already a 3 step winder at the bottom). The ground floor substrate is slate flags on top of earth, there is ready access to underside of both staircase stringers which is a boxed in cupboard. I can almost picture how it will fit together, i.e where the newell posts will go, the framing necessary to support the kite boards etc. The existing balusters and containment all fall short of building regs. So there is plenty for a joiner to go at. Cost effectively is it feasible to modify a staircase in this way versus a install a completely new staircase?
Thanks
Dan
