Hi,
As part of adding an extension to add a bedroom over our garage our stairs are going to be modified so instead of turning left they will carry straight on to a landing.
The idea was to get a carpenter to modify the last few steps to do this. The wall would be pushed back to create a landing to get into the extension on the right.
We had a builder round and he said this isn't possible and that the whole stair case would have to be replaced. Also that due to the angle the top step wouldn't finish where the wall starts.
Can anyone shed any light on this. I've attached photos.
To me it looks like the winders just get replaced with straight steps
Thanks
