Stair Trouble

[Västerhaninge 17]

I have installed the oak staircase in the house with the help of a carpenter (hourly employed friend) in my house. Now that the staircase is in place with MUCH effort, it turns out the staircase is 22 mm too high Damn staircase manufacturer I can't adjust the height of the upper part of the staircase more than raising the entire floor upstairs by 22 mm, unfortunately not an option, I'm concerned about ceiling height.

Does anyone have a smart idea on how to trim the staircase at the bottom with as little hassle as possible (45 mm oak staircase, heavy as hell)?

Some pictures would be good. I don't really know how it is mounted, etc. today. But I can imagine it might be possible to solve by propping up the entire staircase with something under the bottom step and then cutting off the staircase with a multimaster. Then you can probably solve it on site. The first step might feel a bit low, though...

if it's the staircase manufacturer that made a mistake, I wonder why you care? Call them and ask them to fix it immediately. If you are the one who provided the wrong measurements, then ignore my post.

Alternatively, you cut 11 mm at the bottom and hide the remaining eleven with a skirting board at the top.

But as styrman1 said, if the manufacturer made a mistake, it's his problem to fix it.

I hoisted the stairs at both ends again by half a meter, then cut with the circular saw. Turned out fairly straight/nice I guess. The stair manufacturer probably would have said, send the stairs back and we'll fix the right height
