Quick building regs question:
Does anyone know what the maximum allowable rise, and minimum allowable going on a domestic staircase is?

Max rise 220mm Min going 220mm Max pitch 42deg
So for rise of 220 at 42deg, going = 244mm and for going of 220 at 42deg, rise = 198mm
Also there is a rule of 2R+G < > a broad limit which escapes me right now.

Greater than 550, less than 700
In addition: Tapered treads i.e. winders, should have a minimum going of 50mm Going for a stair of up to 1m width should be measured at the centre line All consecutive tapered treads should have the same taper All steps in a flight should have the same R & G Not more than 36 steps in a flight Open risers should not permit the passage of a 100mm sphere
2m recommended headroom above the whole of the stairThere special clauses regarding stairs to a loft conversion (1 room plus adjoining bath) which give greater flexibility.
