  1. crazy in what way? remember this is for a kid and maybe the occasional guest.
  2. in this case almost half the entrance will be obstructed by the sink.
  3. for a pocket door of 686mm i need 704mm wall space for the pocket, i am struggling with 610.
  4. not really, it would leave maximum leg room between toilet and bath of 300mm
  5. many thanks for that, i originally tried that but didn't really work for me, what width door are you using? if i want to put a 600mm deep wardrobe behind the door (door width 762mm) then the vanity unit obstructs part of the opening. see sketch and images below. Once again many thanks for your help.
  6. with regards to the slope, there are a selection of bathtubs available "single ended" so only 1 side is sloped, will put the sloped side on the far end.
  7. It will be wall mounted taps on the far wall, wont be any stepping over taps. for ventilation I will have a HRVS. can anyone be more specific why this would fail building control? Many thanks
  8. I am designing my sons bedroom, and want to make an en-suite, he spends hours in the bath reading so I want to put a bath instead of shower however I don't want to make his room too small so am thinking to put the width of the bath between 2 walls, I have searched and searched could not find any reference to anyone who has done this, is it a problem to do it this way? (regarding the tap and waste pipes I will make an access panel in the bedroom to reach it (it's noted in the sketch below) (The entrance is a pocket door) The 3d image below is the best angle I was able to extract (all the walls are transparent so it looks weird). Would very much appreciate if anyone can tell me if this is a go or not. Many thanks
  9. Thanks for that, this article has been mentioned and i was pretty chuffed at getting bang in the middle of the range. regarding rise of 208... my wife and kids are not your average constructions workers 😜
  10. correction to above figures, 243 going and 190.8 rise (R*2+G=624.6), is 190.8 rise considered comfortable? thanks
  11. I measured my current one again, its old carpet and a toddle loose so its not possible to get accurate measurements, however the stairs vary between 260-264mm (inc nosing) going and 182-188mm rise, (bottom and 1st step from qt landing are 193mm) the big difference between this and the one i plan to build is the current one is carpeted therefore i think its a soft landing whereas the new one will be wood, I am not sure if this makes a difference and if i should therefore lower each a few mm? The top stair is 190mm, no 1 has ever tripped (since i replaced the carpet on the landing (increasing the height) ~9 months ago) maybe because there is a visual difference (see image) the other issue i found is when measuring at first I did not really pay attention to the nosing as the carpet on the rise looked like its only a few mm in from the top small enough to be ignored, however now that i measured nosing to nosing i found that my nosing is around 22mm giving me an actual going of 242mm vs what i thought before to be 264mm. according to the calculator if i were to use the nose to nose measurement at 242mm and rise at 189.5 it will result and a 38.1 degree, i cannot use the same for the new steps as total rise will be slightly more, to achieve 38.1 degrees I can use 244 going (no nosing) and 191.1 rise (R*2+G=626.2) th4 going will be very close to the current only the rise will be more, not sure if going with a rise of 191.1mm will be comfortable. Thank you all once again for your amazing help.
  12. the rise i am certain is 184, what playing on my mind is that the going might be 240mm and for some reason i am working with 260mm. thanks
  13. thanks for that, when I said i will be building it myself i was really overstating... I will get an engineer to design the centre spine and a metal works company to manufacture it... my part will be cutting/shaping and polishing 80mm thick wooden blocks before screwing it onto the metal spine. thanks for the ods file too.
  14. many thanks, seems the like my current shallow degree is based on the going part, will have to remeasure my existing staircase and see (the after works the height will increase by approx 27mm so cannot use the exact same measurements for the new one). Many thanks for the link, was a eye opener
