scp Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 I have a detached property that has been converted into 2 apartments, one on the ground floor and one on the first floor. The g/f lobby area measures approximately 2 metres x 1 metre and contains both the entrance doors. The left-hand door leads straight into the g/f apartment and the right door leads up the stairs into the first-floor apartment. The g/f apartment has an additional 2 exit doors into the rear and side of the garden, the top floor apartment only has the one front exit door. Should the front doors into the apartments be Fire doors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyB Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 When was the conversion carried out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyB Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 Because of the internal lobby you'd expect fire doors unless they got a relaxation because of the ground floor alternative exits and first floor escape windows - if the doors are original to the conversion they must have been acceptable to building control.
