Hope someone can help please. Am thinking of installing a laundry chute from a first floor laundry room to a ground floor laundry room, both laundry rooms will have fire rated doors. Does the chute have to have its own fire rated door too? If so: does this apply on both floors? Would putting a fire rated door on the cupboard it is accessed from be adequate. Upstairs the cupboard would be only for laundry chute acces. Downstairs it is a large cupboard with water tanks, pump and electric meter and consumer boards, but with plenty of room for a large basket/bag to catch all laundry. It seemed easy until I started looking at possible regulation pitfalls!
