Stair case from First Floor to Loft Dormer. I have seen a lot of guides about regulation but struggling to see something that answers this question for:
What should be the lowest head height clearance at any point along the stair case leading into a Loft Dormer. We have no issues at the top. For us the 3rd step is the contention point. I'm at 1.8, my boy 15yo and already 1.8m. It looked OK without carpet, now with carpet it's a problem. Coming down the stairs this morning, missus called me at the same time, I lent forward as approaching the end and whack!

Did tell the builder, we are tall and will need decent head heights, but everything was a case of "it'll be alright!"
