GuestLRM Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sutton Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 Assuming we are talking about a domestic premises the guidance for chutes are contained in Approved Document B (Fire Safety) Vol 1 page 33, section 3.55. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
