Staircases & Fire Escapes
Durable, compliant stair and escape structures
Access to a mezzanine floor depends on how the space will be used. Storage areas typically require a staircase compliant with Part K of the Building Regulations, while office mezzanines must meet Part M requirements. Where the space is open to the public, such as in retail environments, a public access staircase is required to ensure safe and compliant use.
All of our staircases are designed to current British Standards and fabricated from high-quality mild steel. Finishes include gloss, powder coating, or galvanising, with stainless steel options available for projects requiring a more premium aesthetic.
With extensive experience delivering staircases and balustrades across the construction, retail, and leisure sectors, we ensure every installation is built to a high standard and fully compliant with relevant regulations, including BS 5395.
The different types of staircases

Industrial "Part K"
This is a standard industrial staircase which has treads that range between 800mm & 1000m with a handrail either side if required. Handrails must be a minimum of 900mm with a mid rail at 500mm. “Part K” staircases are common on storage mezzanine floors.
Fire Escape "Part M"
Part M staircases for ambulant disabled users must be at least 1.2m wide with closed treads and contrasting nosings. Continuous handrails are required throughout, with a landing provided where flights exceed 11 treads (12 risers).
Public Access
Public access staircases are required in retail, schools or in general public. Handrails are required to have a top rail height of 900mm with infill panels of either: glass, mesh, decorative steel panels or vertical bars.
