Guest Steph Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Are fire doors required for the entrance of ground floor flats if the the flats do not have a staircase and therefore do not share a common area with the flats above. We have two ground floor flats, both of which have patio doors leading to the garden. They are the only flats that share the common entrance as the flats above have a separate communal entrance and staircase. The flats were built in the 1980s.

AnthonyB Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Possibly not - if they were built in the 80's then they would have fire doors as the original doors if required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Steph Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 Thank you. They have notional fire doors. There are concealed door closers and rebates though it doesn't seem strip were ever fitted in the rebates. Would these doors have to meet current requirements of intumescent strips and smoke seals if there is another means of escape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
