March 8, 20233 yr comment_34907 Hi. Can anyone give me some general guidance? What does a 4-story building with one 1 bedroomed apartment on each floor need regarding fire doors, alarm system and emergency lights. The building is approx 100 years old and was converted pre-1991. It currently has a battery smoke alarm on each communal level, no emergency lights at all, and the flat doors are 45 mm thick but have no self-closures or intumescent strips fitted. I know a fire risk Assessment will be needed, but can anyone give me any general advice on the minimum works to be done to bring it up to current regulations? Report

March 10, 20233 yr comment_34958 I'd need to do the FRA for a detailed reply, but a summary is below (note it's from old guidance as you don't need extinguishers now) Report
March 11, 20233 yr Author comment_34971 Thank you, Anthony. Does the basement flat need to have a 60 minute door in this scenario? Report
March 13, 20233 yr comment_35019 As a small building it would be fine with a single 30 minute front door. Report
