Hello,
Conundrum, advice needed if possible - my own job not my house. I have an existing straight flight staircase that's been butchered by previous home owner "it's coming out".
The main issue due to the position of the existing trimmer 4x3 and the lack of space at the bottom of the stairs I can only get the new staircase made with a tread going of 197mm to fit which is illegal.... It's not a massive problem as the job isn't under BC.
Ideally I would like to put a staircase in that complies but I'd also like to get rid of the storey newel, so the conundrum is what size trimmer?
The trimmer has to span 1.5mtrs in can be housed 100mm either side into masonry walls I was thinking 8x2 doubled or maybe 6x3 doubled C24 or even 8x3 doubled not enough head room for 9 inch though??!
Thank you in advance...
