Semi permanent ladder setup for a stairwell.

[Andrew]

I’ve just ordered a straight simple 2850mm staircase (13 treads - 219.3mm rise) from stairbox to serve as our temporary staircase. £235 ex vat delivered. Once it arrives should take about 5 mins to put in place and fix temporarily. I’ll ask the chippies to put some temp handrails on.
 

Only downsides are it’s taking just over 2 weeks to come and it may put me on a sticky wicket with the VAT reclaim as I’ll try including both the temporary staircase and the real one in the claim to see if they notice ?.

There is a used cheap staircase on e bay that has been used as temporary stairs on a build, it’s going for £100 so you can sell it after and recover nearly half your money.
