`The walls and floors that separate any domestic premises from other domestic premises'

[Guest Ian Mac]

The new` Fire safety (England) Regulations 2022' state (or seem to infer) that `The walls and floors that separate any domestic premises from other domestic premises' should be considered in all FRA's going forward for flats. Most FR assessors already consider fire doors, external walls and balconies anyway to my knowledge. How are we expected to comply with this on say a Type 1 FRA on a small 2 or 3 storey block of flats without getting access to flats and taking up carpets etc.

Would really appreciate some advice here because all the Fire Officers I've asked haven't come back to me on it.
