Stair renovation ideas needed

2 years ago

I'm currently renovatiing my whole house and its at the back to brick stage. I haven't addressed the stairs though. I'm appreciating them a little more today than previously but need help with renovation ideas. They creek a lot and that definitely needs addressing. Any ideas? I want to maintain a mid-century industrial look and do like the combination of oak and stool but any ideas welcome.

I honestly can't tell from the picture ( and did try blowing it up ) what the staircase is made from. Is it Tile or block board with a metal trim? - I think it's something with a metal trim. Anyway, It will need amending as you can't paint tiles or block board and make them look nice and the metal trim has to go. Pretty much the only option is a full width carpet. Remove one of the hand rails, you don't need two. I presume you're putting plaster board up as painted brickwork indoors is not really ideal and it's not insulated, so if one of your walls is an outside wall, which is quite normal on a staircase, you'll need insulating board to keep the warmth in.

Hi again, Yes it may well be possible to get planning permission to the front for your home. It is best to check first though as the planners deal with applications on a case-by-case basis, which means that there is no such thing as precedent in planning as a different site, property, architect or planning officer can make the difference between getting approval and not - for pretty much exactly the same thing. Best to check with them first with some initial sketch plans, before spending a lot of time, money and mental effort on developing a design that won't get permission. For rear extensions there is an amount that is permitted development. Permitted development is restricted in some places so again it is best to check with the planning department on what would be considered permitted development (PD) in your case. 4 meters is the typical PD depth of an extension for a detached house, and this has been extended to 6 meters for a limited amount of time, subject to an application to the planning department for them to carry out a neighbourhood consultation. It is not automatically possible to extend 6 meters back from a detached house. In effect you basically need to submit pretty much the same information as you would for a planning application to get the extended PD option of 6 meters. However, since you prefer to maximise your garden space this doesn't seem to be your preferred option. You can always add some windows to the side elevation to get in some natural light mid-plan if you extend to a depth that starts to make it dark in the middle. You could also look at adding some of the circulation space into the rooms that you'd prefer - it looks like a large hall so perhaps some of that could be incorporated into the kitchen.

Hi. Only need 1 bedroom and 1 multi-use room (study/extra storage/sofa bed for guests). No plans for stairs - we're heading for retirement and thinking about the future. Have thought about a small extension. Would be good to get everything done for under 50k (need some repairs and new windows that will take about 20 of that I'm guessing). Would stretch the budget if an extension gave us a layout that really works for us.

Let us know if you need further help, I will assign a personal advisor for you, obviously, there are no obligations :)). We manufacture such balustrades so our cost is usually 20-30% including survey and installation.

Hi Natasha

Depends how modern or traditional you want the room to be and in keeping with the rest of the house I would recommend stand off fixings personally as there very minimalistic and if your keeping the staircase open as it is now this would be the best option, you can also fit a fletch plate and clad over it which would hide the fixings under the cladding.
See below examples of stand off fixed stair balustrades and fletch plate style.

Hope this helps! Thanks BFG
