TD33 Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Set of stairs leads top of building. End of stairs there is a 5 metre walk to the front door of apartment. Should there be a fire door in between top of stairs and front door? Also opposite the front door is a final exit door that could can lead to a horizontal escape to next buildings terrace. This door has no push bar but a key in a glass box. Alsoooo...The stairs don't have any manual or automatic ventilation, is this place in need of some work???

Tom Sutton Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 The key in a glass box is not acceptable and there are other acceptable methods, not necessarily a push bar. It sounds like a conversion and I would survey it in accordance with HOUSING – FIRE SAFETY Guidance on fire safety provisions for certain types of existing housing.
