Spursfan Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Hello ,we live in a two storey block of four purpose built flats ,built in 1986.We have a front door opening on to hallway then main door to outside .Just outside our front door we have a cupboard with a door.After a recent inspection we have been told our cupboard door needs to be a 30 min fire door .Is this really necessary as they want to charge us £300 for it .?

Tom Sutton Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 The cupboard most probably contains a fire risk so consequently the cupboard should meet a 30 minute fire resisting standard because it is in a protected route, this is why they are asking for a FD30 fire door. The cost/who pays will be up to the Responsible Person and/or tenant's agreement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Sutton Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Most storage is a fire risk unless you are storing non-combustible items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
