[Does wooden furniture need to be fireproofed?]

That's a question for the Trading Standards and also they are the enforcing authority for Fire safety of furniture and furnishings in the home A Guide to the UK Regulations

[Fire Batts]

Have you contacted the manufacturer of the sealant and get their views. 

[Upholstery regulations]

The Regulations do not apply to furniture intended for export and furniture manufactured prior to 1950. Check out https://www.firesafe.org.uk/furniture-and-furnishings-fire-safety-regulations-19881989-and-1993/ so the level of fire resistance will be up to you but I would mimic the regulations for peace of mind. You could include a label that indicated that the item was manufactured pre 1950. 

[Classroom Doors]

I would agree with you, all doors that can be used for MoE are 'on an escape route'. However providing the door in not locked when the room is occupied, I think you need to look at the chances of the door being inadvertently locked and is there written procedures to ensure this does not happen. The standard for this situation is BS EN 179: 2008.

[Can we get anybody to do actions from fire risk assessment]

Providing the person or persons are competent, as defined in the FF(FS)O) in the fields involved.

[How do I know if my CO alarm went off because of Carbon Monoxide?]

There is no answer to this problem it depends on so many parameters, check the internet on the best ways to ventilate a domestic premises. 

[Smoke alarm constantly flashing red]

You need to provide more information, make and such

[Fire door blank trimming]

You need the global fire risk assessment when you purchased the blanks which shows you how the blanks has to be modified to meet the required standards. Yes they will need lipping and intumescent strips depending the standard you are trying to achieve.

[Ei207 random beeping]

If the batteries are fitted remove them then check it out. I has happened many times according to this site that the beep is emanating from elsewhere not the detector in question.

[Internal Fire Doors]

Yes there should be FD30 doors and this will also meet the latest ADB, see Approved Document B (Fire Safety) Vol 1.

[AOV issue]

Check out https://www.coltinfo.co.uk/files/pdf/UK/Smoke control in apartments and fire fighting shafts.pdf.

[Fire doors in a domestic 3 storey house]

It is likely to be subject to the Building Regulations therefore you should contact building control and get their advice.

[Internal Fire Doors]

Check out https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/fire-safety-approved-document-b vol 1. as you will need Building Regulations approval.

[Floor fire risk]

I see this as a construction problem not a fire risk, I have been to many fires and the floors where not affected by a fire on that floor, only if it starts on the floor below which can breach the ceiling then floor above, as this is a concrete floor the chances would be low.

[Smokers blocking fire exit]

I would think that if the fire alarm operates they would be moving the a place of safety like everybody else and unlikely to block the door. 

[AOV issue]

The AOV within the protected lobby is for clearing the smoke from the lobby if that is the floor where the fire is located, the staircase will have its own ventilation. Check out Webinar Calendar (coltinfo.co.uk) they have good webinars

 

[Does any industry body regulate fire risk assessors?]

The Responsible Person (RP) makes the final decision he/she takes the fire risk assessor's advice and decides to accept it or not. It is the RP who choses the FR accessor and should be very careful to ensure the person is satisfactory. Check out A Guide to Choosing a Competent Fire Risk Assessor.

Because the FSO is based on risk assessment and is not prescriptive then there is going to be problems like this.

[Travel distances]

Check out section 59 of Fire safety in purpose-built blocks of flats.

[What fire doors are required?]

I cannot give you a definitive answer but in my opinion you require to provide a 60 minute separation between the ground floor and the basement which could be achieved by a FD60s at the ground floors or enclose the stair case and provide a FD30s at the ground also basement level, you will most probably need to keep the external staircase for MoE. You need building regulation approval so you need to contact your local Building Control get get their approval.

[Fire door brush at bottom]

Of course providing it is fit for purpose.

[I cut fire safety labels off, do I now need to buy new??]

Are you talking about the display label or the permanent label, it is the permanent label you are required to have.

[Are door mats outside door a fire risk?]

Do you mean individual letter boxes in the entrance lobby because not allowing door mats is because they could cause a trip hazard not a fire hazard.

[Do pet beds have to be fire retardant?]

If there is no upholstery and you do not use a filler then it would not be subject to Fire safety of furniture and furnishings in the home A Guide to the UK Regulations and I am not aware of any other legislation in private accommodation.

[Correct Varnish to use on Fire Doors]

Standard vanish is acceptable but you are limited to the number of coats you can use.

[Fire Safety Labels under sofas and chairs]

The law says it must have a permanent label which means it cannot be removed or extremely difficult to remove and if it was, then there sure be evidence to show it had been removed. Your problem is not a fire safety matter and it would be better dealt with by solicitors.
