Everything You Need to Know About Our Staircases
Staircases aren’t just a functional feature – they must meet strict regulations while enhancing your space. Our FAQs cover the essentials, giving you practical knowledge on safety, compliance, and design flexibility.
Are open tread stairs legal?
Yes, open tread staircases are legal in the UK, but they must comply with regulations for safety:
- The gap between treads must not allow a 100mm sphere (roughly the size of a small child’s head) to pass through.
- Open treads are often used in modern floating or feature staircases, but they must always be designed to meet these safety standards.
What is the 25 rule for stairs?
The “25 rule” refers to a guideline in UK building regulations that ensures staircases are safe and comfortable to use. It combines the rise (height of each step) and the going (depth of each tread):
2 × Rise + Going should be between 550mm and 700mm.
This formula makes sure stairs are neither too steep nor too shallow, striking the right balance for safe daily use in homes and businesses.
Do you need permission to change a staircase?
In most cases, replacing or upgrading a staircase in your home does not need planning permission if it is inside the property. However:
- The staircase must comply with building regulations (rise, going, headroom, handrails, etc.).
- Listed buildings or properties in conservation areas may require special permission.
For commercial and industrial staircases, compliance with safety standards and building regs is essential and will often require formal approval.
Do you need a handrail on both sides of the stairs?
It depends on the width and type of staircase:
- Domestic stairs less than 1m wide require a handrail on at least one side.
- Stairs wider than 1m (common in commercial and industrial settings) require handrails on both sides.
This ensures safe use for all users, especially in high-traffic or public spaces.
Are external steel staircases safe in bad weather?
Yes, if designed and fabricated correctly. External staircases are built with:
- Non-slip treads (often checker plate or serrated grating).
- Weather-resistant finishes like galvanising or powder coating to prevent corrosion.
- Drainage considerations to stop water pooling and reduce hazards in rain, frost, or snow.
Properly fabricated and maintained steel staircases are among the safest, most durable options for external use.
What is the maximum rise and going of stairs in the UK?
According to Approved Document K of the UK Building Regulations:
- Maximum Rise (height of each step): 220mm
- Minimum Going (depth of tread): 220mm
- Minimum Headroom: 2m above the pitch line.
These rules apply to most domestic and commercial buildings. They ensure stairs are accessible, safe, and comfortable for all users.
