Hi all
Well, we've fitted the wooden floring, as per one of my previous posts.
Thanks for all the advice !

Now we want to install a new staircase.

I'd appreciate comments on the following:

1. I think the easiest way to go is to buy a ready made-to-measure staircase
and install it. How difficult is it to install?

You can get one made or buy something ready made that might just fit.
If you can get one that is ready made and fits OK but getting someone
to make a one off could work out rather expensive.

You might be better off making an open stair case with inch thick
timber for the treads and at least inch and a quarter for the side
pieces or strings. If you can cut housings for the treads well and good
but you can get away with using supports as another poster has
suggested.

Your measurements need to be spot on as any differences in the spacings
will cause users to trip.
