Guest Luke Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Hello,I was wondering about the new property I am buying. Me and my partner will be renovating it when the process of buying goes through. I would like to change the internal doors inside. Some are fire doors the seller has mentioned. I had done some research and it has mentioned on a ground floor flat you don't need fire doors as long you have means of escape. Every room has a window. Plus if the habitable areas are linked to the hallway. Which they all are just wanting to ask you guys to see what you think of the situation.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sutton Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 I am assuming you are buying a flat on the ground floor and the front door opens into the common area. If you have been researching Approved Document Part B Fire Safety vol 2, then I would come to a similar interpretation based on the information you have provided. However some points to consider, the front door require being FD30s fire door, self-closing and the escape windows need to comply with section 2.9 also a grade D LD2 smoke detection is required.
