Hi all, I'm also after advice on FD30 door installation. I own a ground floor flat in a Victorian Mansion block. Our management company and the freeholder company are also asking that we pay around £2.3k to install FD30s doors and new door surrounds in order to support a 'stay put' fire safety policy. This also entails removing orginal Victorian decorative surrounds that most of the leaseholders quite like! Being on the ground floor, my flat has one door leading to a communal hallway and a also rear door that opens directly to a garden which has direct access to the street. As the ground floor flats have safe rear door exits that don't entail walking through communal parts of the building, do the hallway doors and surrounds need to be replaced regardless, or does the safe alternative exit mean ground floor flats wouldn't need the upgrade? (I understand the purpose of the 'stay put' policy is that residents don't attempt to walk through smoke-filled corridors or obstruct fire workers if there is a fire in the building.) Many thanks for any advice / input!
