"The cost would be hard to predict without pricing the job up in person but you would be talking between £1,000 - £3,000 depening on the type of materials for stair and finish. And this should not require planning as long as you use a fire door."

"As long as only putting a stud wall you should be fine. You would be looking around a £1000 to £1250 chris"
