Is it an actual requirement, though? The HSE's official publication (Seating At Work, HSG57) specifically notes that castors are NOT always appropriate and even features an illustration of a non-wheeled chair later, making me suspect this may just be an urban legend: "everybody does it, so it must be compulsory".
(There's also a warning that people over 16 stone must not use gas-lift chairs unless specifically designed, with the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 requiring employers to accommodate variations in seating where needed; it seems the chair *does* need to be height-adjustable and movable, but no requirement for wheels.)
