There's a couple of things I'm not sure whether they would be an issue for my pre-reg inspection, and I wondered if some of you could tell me what you think????
1) kitchen flooring - this is currently carpet tiles which are very old and a bit minging! Is this likely to become a hygiene issue and would it be better to play safe by putting vinyl down???
2) spiral staircases - i have 2 spiral staircases in my property. Both are closed treads so no gaps to slip through. I live in an upper conversion, so one is a concrete stairway which is the entrance to my home, the other is a carpeted stairway giving access to the upper floor of my home. I have 2 questions....firstly, there are no banisters on either...will this be an issue??? Second, i was going to put stairgates top and bottom of internal stairs, but are they likely to require that for external stairs too????
Many thanks for reading!
