Staircases

Do you need to apply for approval?

Whether you need to apply for approval depends on what kind of work you are doing to the staircase.

• Completely replacing a staircase so that it is exactly the same as what was there before, is considered a repair, so does not require approval.
• Installing a new staircase does require approval.
• Installing a staircase that is similar to what was there before, does require approval.

Installing a new staircase or relocating an existing staircase requires building regulations approval.

Fees

Staircases are charged as an alteration.

• Charges: Domestic Alterations (Replacement Windows, Electrics, Re-Roofing etc)
