  1. Hi Needing a temporary handrail for some external steps to get sign off whilst awaiting the stainless steel ones to be installed. I know the regs re the height etc but I cant find anything about size and shape of them, I know they are normally mopstick but as I have some left over 50 x 50 planned timber I wondered if I could use that? Cheers
  2. Its a concrete slab at the bottom that slopes down, could he excavate that to make the last step the same rise? PS, is there a tolerance on the rise as they are bricks with Indian Sandstone on top so they wont be exactly the same Thanks
  3. Hi all - hope this is in the right forum section As part of my recent loft conversion, the back door was moved and required new steps to be built leading to it as part of the BC sign off requirements. The builder who provided them unfortunately did so with varying rise heights According to my BC officer, they need to follow part K of the building regs and therefore need to be uniform in size. My builder said he can alter them but (due to a very steep drop at that point) it would require an additional step that would only be half the rise of the others, will that be OK? The other issue is that the steps lead to a platform and are on both sides, the other side being flat - so the steps on that side of the platform have a far smaller rise than the other side, is that OK or do both sets of steps have to be the same? Any advice gratefully recieved
