What is the minimum permitted stair width for such things? I did
follow the link but got pretty lost!

A more specific link:

http://www.odpm.gov.uk/stellent/grou...reg_600500.pdf

Page 6 in the PDF is the start of the section on stairs, page 7 talks
about width requirements. The basic gist is there are no explicit width
requirements for a domestic stair as a result of this part of the regs.
However they may be if the stair is a means of escape, when the fire
regs might kick in, or, if the stair is providing access for disabled
people. In which case consult documents B for the former and M for the
latter.

I give up. These documents are as clear as a 10 acre mudfarm. I'm
thinking of a loft room with 2 exits: the stair and a roof opening
window.


Thanks, NT
