Hi all
I've just moved into a new house and 2 removal guys hit their heads quite badly and I've hit my head 3 times already on the blimmin Newel post that hangs very low down in the utility room. It's a very dangerous design in my opinion and I'm amazed it got through building regs at all !
The house is less than 5 yrs old.

Is it possible to cut it flush to the the sloped ceiling without weakening the staircase?
