Staircase

When you are considering a loft conversion, the staircase is one of the most crucial components. The staircase to your new loft room must comply with current building regulations. The new staircase will be desinged to make best use of the available space and natural characteristics of your house.

At Absolute Lofts we partner with staircase specialists, The London Staircase Company who design and build beautiful bespoke staircases for each of our conversions. Please take a look at our loft conversion gallery to see some examples.

The recommended headroom at the top of the staircase to your loft is 2 metres, however the building regulations do recognise that space is at a premium with loft conversions so in certain circumstances where there is an angled roof at the top of the stairs, some headroom of between 1.8 - 2 metres is acceptable. There are also specific requirements your staircase must meet regarding width of tread, rise, going and pitch.
