Guest Jane Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 I live in a top floor Victorian conversion of 4 flats which pre date 1991 Building Regs - basement, ground, floor 1 and floor 2. All flats have their own external entrance. There is an open concrete staircase which leads to the flats on floor 1 consisting of 2 flights (10 steps each) and another 2 flights to my external door. A FRA was undertaken in 2021 and it did not mention escape routes or fire doors. Does the building need a new FRA? Does the external door on Floor 1 need to be a fire door as it is necessary to pass it to leave the building? Does my door need to be a fire door? Does the freeholder need to provide information about fire safety and an evacuation plan? I’ve looked at the guidance and it seems to only refer to internal communal stairs. I’d really appreciate your advice. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Patch Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 Hi! I had a similar issue a few years ago with one of my properties, I got a new FRA done to be on the safe side. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
