Carpentry and Joinery , book one by R.Bayliss covers the basic joints and operations but to be honest a copy of the regs and a staircase jig is all you need .

There were two Staircase books in the last Craftsman Book Club Catalogue. One from Taunton Press, but I don't know much about either. I know I should read more  Book Club |

All you need to do is work out your rise and mark it onto a rod . From thet you can mark out where your treads are going to go .  You going is whatever the area is you need to fit it into so i guess your restricted by that and the regulations 220mm last time i made a staircase . The winders have to be 50mm at the newel post and 220mm or your going in the centre of the winders .  Once you have your rod made you can work out where your staircase is going and mark it out to find out the angle .  |

Now if you just put all that in a book - I'd carry it with me, study it in detail, memorize it. . . . and them just maybe have a go - sometime |

Wonder if anyone can check my calculations?
Finished floor to finished floor rise = 2371mm.
11 risers of 215.5 will give me the rise I need and be within the 220mm limit set by BRegs.
A going of 220 is a little on the tight side and a tad over the 42 degrees but let's go with it for now.
Top flight will have 5 treads so this means that the total go of this flight is 1100mm.
Three winders...the actual tread width is 755mm excluding stringers.
Which leaves me with the bottom flight with a total go of 660mm.
Question re winders...the minimum width at the newel post is 50mm. Doesn't this mean that I need a newel post the size of a telegraph pole? Can't see how you go about making the winder to newel post joint.

Have you been peeking in my post ? Excellent recommendation, thanks ...I stumbled across this and ordered a secondhand copy. Having skimmed through it will probably bottle out due to the winders...  |

Not got my thinking head on at the moment but the 220mm tread is the min going and 220mm is the max rise . The 50mm winder fits into a 95mm x 95mm . You can make the going of each tread what you like as long as they are all the same and not over 850mm i think ..... |

P.S the R. Bayliss book says min 850mm width for domestic staircases but i have asked a few councils over the years and they have all said there is no min width . Might be best to ask your local D.S . Having said that if that is the room you have existing then they wont make you move a wall but if you are trying to make space by putting a wall there they may have something to say .
