    • Staircase without newel posts
    Joiners - 8 answers

    I’d like to fit a staircase between a solid wall and a half-wall that I plan to build. The half-wall would include built-in storage under the stairs. I don’t want to use newel posts as I would prefer the half-wall to be as slim as possible to save space. Before I reach out for quotes, I’d like to find out if this idea is feasible. Specifically: • Can the staircase be structurally supported by a solid wall and a half-wall without newel posts? • What kind of reinforcements would the half-wall need to support the staircase and storage? • Are there any building regulations I should be aware of for this type of design? I’d love to hear from anyone with experience on similar projects. Many thanks in advance!

    Plastered walls issues
    Plasterers - 8 answers

    Hi I will appreciate any advice. I had full 2 bedroom renovation done in November/December 2020. All walls and ceilings skimmed, plastered and painted white. Now straight after the paint dry there were few cracks visible on the ceiling and down the wall corners. Now 4 months on on my hall wall plaster is coming off and paint is fleaky from right on the middle to the bottom, now behind this wall is a bathroom shower with wet wall. ( There is no visible leak, no water on the floor, shower battery is fitted opposite to the wall with issues) Could there be possible leak behind wet wall or the plastered wall isn't done correctly? I am not sure if I could post a picture to visualise my problem. Thanks in advance

    Smart lock for my door?
    Locksmiths - 6 answers

    I have two separate locks on my door. The upper one is Zoo MK5 cylinder lock (knob inside, keyhole outside); lower one is a split spindle latch (lever handle inside, keyhole outside). To open the door from the outside, I need to unlock the upper lock and then use my key for the lower lock to turn the latch. I’d like to add a smart lock. What’s the best way to make this door smart? Is it to (1) make the lower lock a proper lock + latch and ignore the upper lock or (2) make the lower lock a latch that can be opened with a lever handle from both sides without a key? Which is less likely to affect the fire resistance of the door or hinder escape in case of emergency (because this is a leasehold property)?
