Thanks Mike. Obviously the said doors would then require fire casings too? Sorry, when you say about using RRO to mix and match? What do you mean by this? Thanks

I’m North West England Thanks for the reply’s 👍🏽

I’m currently in the process of renovating my home. It is a 3 bedroom semi detached house and is ‘back to brick’ as such. It’s having a complete electrical rewire, new heating system and smoke alarms will be in all rooms, apart from the main bathroom and loft conversion en-suite. A LD1 or LD2 system from what I’ve looked at on the web? On the building inspectors last visit she has sent me the site inspection report. She has stated in comments; Discussed mains operated Interlinked smoke detection to be installed in all habitable rooms at all levels within the circulation areas. Note that this is under the old regulations before changes to fire doors. Details required for the proposed doors which will require intumescent strips and appropriate hinges. Fire line board has been applied to the external face of the dormer with additional fire line board also proposed internally. I started the works 2021, so before fire regulations were changed etc. So my question is, am I required to put intumescent strips on my doors in the house even though I will have smoke alarms installed throughout? The larger door casings would need to be installed to accommodate a fire door would they? I have fire boarded internally my dormer cheek now. Any information or links I can be provided with would be greatly appreciated Thanks, James
