The new Building regs. for loft conversions. My local Building Control office now says ALL doors leading off the protected route need to be fire resisting. ( 2 storey dwelling at present, converting loft to make 3 storey) This is because the new Regs dont mention, like they did before, that fire doors are required to habitable rooms only. Apparently, reference to the British Standard for such matters confirms this. So I've just amended a plan showing a fire door on the bathroom and the 1st floor hall cupboard in order to get BRegs approval. Any one met this ? Comments ? Fremsley Hi All
