    Do I legally need a handrail in my late 1800 cottage?

    We have just taken the stair rail off because it was falling off, filled in the holes and realized the stairs look great without them (it's incased in-between two walls) is there a legal requirement to have a rail?

    Staircase without newel posts

    I’d like to fit a staircase between a solid wall and a half-wall that I plan to build. The half-wall would include built-in storage under the stairs. I don’t want to use newel posts as I would prefer the half-wall to be as slim as possible to save space. Before I reach out for quotes, I’d like to find out if this idea is feasible. Specifically: • Can the staircase be structurally supported by a solid wall and a half-wall without newel posts? • What kind of reinforcements would the half-wall need to support the staircase and storage? • Are there any building regulations I should be aware of for this type of design? I’d love to hear from anyone with experience on similar projects. Many thanks in advance!
