Guest Ffion21 Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Hi, UK based with a 1930’s property. We have gone open plan downstairs, second floor has 3 bedrooms (2 existing with old doors and 1 new bedroom with a new fire door). loft upstairs has a fire door as also new. We have alarms in all rooms downstairs (hall/living room/open plan). we have fire alarm in the loft and a fire alarm on second floor. we don’t have fire alarms in the bedrooms on second floor. building control say we either have a fully integrated fire alarm system with an alarm in every single room or the entire house is fire doors. We can’t mix and match. We can’t find this in statute/regs and he can’t seek to point it out to us. Is an alarm in the hallway not enough, do the bedrooms have to have alarms too?

Mike North Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 There must be a protected route from the loft to the building exit, unfortunately been open plan this is no longer an option, therefore to compensate you need an L1 fire alarm.
