I have a small office, with 4 people regularly working in this office. We do employ a couple more people on site but they do not have a desk in the office, and occasionally come in for a chat. We do have a meeting room upstairs that can seat up to 10 people.
I have attached the floor plan. I am being told every door needs to be a fire door. The 4 office desks are split between room 1 & 2. There is an internal door between the downstairs and upstairs. However, there is a separate fire exit upstairs which leads directly outside and not used by anyone else. As there are 2 fire exit points downstairs and one up stairs and the office is relatively small, do we need to also put fire doors on every room / up the stairs?
Do I need fire doors?

Thank you in advance for your help.
