Where will the staircase go?

FAQs - Apex Loft & Roof Conversions - Professional Loft Conv...
The staircases in almost all conversions are positioned above the existing staircase of the house. They start at the side of the bedroom door and climb upwards along the flank wall of the house and land at the top level with the new loft floor. This means that no extra space is needed or taken away from the first floor living area to accommodate the stairs into the loft.

What part of a staircase do you sand?

Vancouver Hardwood Floor Refinishing
We only sand the actual treads or steps and sometimes but not often, the risers of the staircase. We never sand spindles, railings or stringers. This is far beyond the scope of floor work and you are much better off having a tradesman competent in this field look after this for you. We’d be happy to provide you with the number of a business that does this type of work. Most risers – the back, vertical face of the stairs – are covered with a very thin veneer over plywood.
