Hi Tom, thanks for that. I failed to mention I am in Scotland so will try and find the relevant sections within the Technical Documents. I would imagine the guidance is very similar.

I have a client who has started to create a disabled guest bedroom and bathroom leading off a kitchen/diner area. I have concerns about this.
1- The kitchen/diner would be considered as a higher risk room and the escape route would involve going through the kitchen.
2- If the person requires assistance in getting out and are alone, someone needs to come through the kitchen to get to them.
3- I dont think this complies with building regs anyway but cant find anything definite.
4 - Apart from anything else its not a good look having a toilet/bathroom that can be seen from the dining room table.
This is in a guest house which sleeps 8.
Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Hi Tom, Yes , as I thought, not allowed.
On another subject regarding the same house, they have installed a NEST smoke alarm system which seems to be a domestic grade system. Although this is a guest house which is restricted to having 8 guests, because it is a large property with 2 levels more than 200m2 in area I have to use the guidance for medium and large sleeping premises. Does this then bring the alarm and detection into the realms of commercial requirements?
