i didnt think you were allowed to use wooden ones anymore.
i got my stairgates free from the RAF and i mentioned i had wooden ones in my loft and they said 'oh no you cant use them anymore we have to supply brand new metal ones' so they delievered new ones to me

ah i c, sorry i got confused!! It is the first i heard of it anyway but then differnt people hear different things, so i guess, if anyone has a mate with small kids who wants em, let me know, My step sons socialworker never mentioned it to us though which seems odd but hey ho, thats social services for you!!!!

hope u dont mind me asking, but did you approach DHE re the stairgates? As I am currently in the process of registering, and have the solid wooden ones in place that were here when we marched in......

hiya, yea we went to DHE to give them a letter asking if we could childmind from the property (we had to put it in writing to them and when they said yes we had to ask the station commander) then while we were there we asked for stairgates and a fireguard he said we should have stairgates in out loft but he said dont use the wooden ones you have to use metal ones now so if you dont have the metal ones come back to us and we'll order you some. It did take a while for them to arrive though so ask asap.
