G'day
We are converting our loft, cheapest way of putting new stairs in is an 'off the shelf' job from Jewsons (or similar). However the standard rise for off the shelf stairs is 100mm more than we require. Does anyone have any ideas on the best way (if any) of modifying these stairs to fit the required space?
Can the bottom step be trimmed to be a lower riser so that the top step falls in the right place? Or is this a 'no-no' and against regs/normal practice?
Any known fix for this or do I just have to stop being a tight git and get them made to measure?
Cheers!
