Most staircases for jobs like that are made to measure, even if you got the kit off evilbay it may not be right, you need height, angle and number of risers.

To me its an odd request, if he can make a play room in the attic, why the problem with making a staircase.
Wonder what his day time job is.

thanks for the replies guys, to be honest i thought that most stairs were of standard size and with regards to me actually doing any of the work myself i'm not, mostly friends and the trademan who istalled my new floor frame and boarding.

thanks

Well Neil if tradesmen installed your floors etc they should have told you what stairs you required and I'm a joiner by trade myself

To be quite honest making a set of stairs isn't that easy, only ever made one myself that was for a fire escape for a pub in Settle back in the seventies, wooden stairs on fire escapes will probably be taboo these days
