Rules in the UK
Permissions and regulations.
New and replacement staircases are covered by Approved Document K (gov.uk), which sets rules for the rise and going of steps, headroom and handrails. Building control can tell you whether your job needs an application.
If your home is a listed building, changes to a staircase or to original joinery inside can need listed building consent, so check with your council before work starts.
General guidance only, based on gov.uk and the Planning Portal. Your council or building control has the final say.
Things to watch
- New and replacement staircases have to meet rules on steepness, headroom and handrails.
- In a listed building, changing a staircase or original joinery can need consent.
- Measure after plastering and flooring, as both change the final sizes.
