Re: decorating help/info required....
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.

Re: decorating help/info required....
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.

Re: decorating help/info required....
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.
