Stairs, especially timber ones, aren't actually connected to the walls at
the side of them. They are made in one continuous runner on either side
that hold the treads in place. The stair case is then, quite literally,
leaned against the landing structure and is held in place rather lightly so
it doesn't slide away. Like putting a ladder against a wall and tying it

The exception to this will be a staircase with a quarter winder at the
top and bottom since this will leave one side effectively unsupported.
This will either need to be held up on legs or some sort or fixed to the
wall.
