Internal stairs, guarding and landings for changes in level of 600mm
or more
Private stairs (used for only one dwelling) to be constructed in accordance with BS 5395 and BS 585 as detailed in the following guidance details and diagrams below:-
(Spiral and helical stairs to be designed to BS 5395: Part 2) Stair pitch
Stair pitch must not to exceed 42° Headroom
Stair to have a minimum headroom of 2m above the pitch line of the stairs Rise and going
Rise and going to be level and equal to all steps and to fall within the following separate classes:-
Any rise between 155mm-220mm used with any going between 245mm- 260mm, or
Any rise between 165mm-200mm used with any going between 223mm- 300mm.

Landings
Landings to be provided at the top and bottom of the stair equal in length to the width of the stairs and clear of any door opening onto it. If a door open across the bottom of a landing (or cupboard doors open in a similar at the top and bottom of a flight) a clear 400mm space must be
maintained across the width of the flight. in compliance with Diagrams 1.7 and 1.8 of ADK Stair width
There is no minimum stair width for new extensions or replacement stairs in existing dwellings but should be safe and practicable. Treads should be slip resistant where open to the
weather or in wet areas. Handrails
Handrails must be provided on one side of the stairs if they are less than 1m wide and they should have one on each side if they are wider. Handrails to provide a firm handhold with a minimum clearance of 25 - 50mm between the handrail and wall to prevent trapping of hands and securely fixed at a height 900-1000mm above floor/nosing levels and must be continuous throughout their length.
Internal guarding (external guarding details below)
Stair flights, landings, ramps and edges of internal floors to be guarded at a minimum height of 900mm, measured from the floor/pitch line of the stairs (across the nosings) to the top of the handrail and be continuous throughout their length, fitted with non climbable vertical balustrading, with no gaps to exceeding 100mm (in which a 100mm diameter sphere cannot pass through) and all constructed to resist a horizontal force of 0.36kN/m. All open treads, gaps etc should not exceed 100mm. See Diagram 3.1 of ADK for full details and BS6180 for protective barrier details. Length of flights
Stairs having more than 36 risers in consecutive flights should have a landing between flights which should be equal in length to the width of the stairs and make a change of direction of at

Flight Landing Note: Landings to be clear of any obstructions. A door may swing accross a landing at the bottom of a flight but must allow a 400mm min clear space accross the full width of the flight clear of any door swing
Guidance Diagram 54: Typical internal tapered tread stair case (not to scale) The rise of tapered treads should be uniform and equal to the rise of the straight flight.
The going on the tapered treads should be uniform and equal to the going of the straight flights as measured on the centre line of the stairs as detailed in the guidance diagram below.
(See Diagram 1.9 of ADK for full details)
The rise of the tapered treads should be uniform and equal to the rise of the straight flights
The goings on the tapered treads should be uniform and equal to the going of the straight flights as measured on the centre line of the stairs
Minimum going 50mm

Typical internal staircase construction details
Typical staircase construction details: side strings ex. 230 X 35mm, capping ex. 32 X 63mm, treads 25mm thick, risers in 12.5mm thick plywood, newel posts ex. 75 X 75mm, handrails ex. 75 X 63mm, balustrades ex. 32 X 32mm at 125mm ctrs fixed into proprietary timber head and base rebated capping.
