Loft Conversion Staircases

If you’re building a loft, figuring out where to put the loft stairs can be difficult. When you add in having to adhere to building regulations, it can be a little complicated. Often, loft stairs have to be placed somewhere that might be inconvenient to the layout of your loft.

It is simple enough to build staircases if you are already well versed in home improvement and have all of the necessary tools. If you do not have that much experience, you can use staircase manufacturers so that you don’t have to build the stairs on your own.

The following are the most important regulations to keep in mind:

• To comply with the Regulations, the minimum going should be 220mm
• the pitch of the staircase should not exceed 42 °
• There are no restrictions when it comes to width, but standard flights measure 860mm, and for a main staircase it is agreed that a width of between 800mm and 900mm works best. For secondary staircases a minimum width of 600mm is recommended

These regulations might change based on your location or the type of stairs that you are planning on building. Make sure that you double check what the rules and regulations with building control for building in your area are before you start construction.
