Get some 3 X 2 and some plaserboard and under-draw it to a reasonable height, saves on heating bills too :) failing that its ladders off the stairs, scary but its possible

Put a ladder on the stairs resting on the wall above them and a trestle on the landing (or top big step) at the top of the stairs. Then put a substantial plank between the trestle and the ladder.

The SAFEST method is to invest in one of these;

If you can justify the cost of £90 then they do come in handy for quite a few jobs. You can hire them for about £20 a day I think from a hire shop.

They are very good but that one might not be quite tall enough to reach mine. We have 10' ceiling downstairs and 9' upstairs so it is quite a drop when you are painting that top corner. I know I did it :D

Create an elaborate pulley system with counter weights and balances.

My dad was a decorator in the 60's and always used the ladders and sturdy plank system. I tried it when I was painting mine a few years ago, I have no head for heights and had a bit of a wobbly start but I managed it. Good luck.
