Landings should be framed to provide full support and solid fixings for the tops of flights, nosings, newels, apron linings, etc.
Suitable access should be provided to facilitate final installation of staircases and connection to upper units on site, including any necessary fixings or supports required.
The top nosing of staircases should be:
- level with the floor decking
- fixed firmly.
