Basement flat

Orbital
in Fire Alarm Systems

Featured Replies

Converted house with 4 flats. Pre 1991  

One flat is a basement flat, with a separate entrance.You then have a ground floor flat, first floor and second floor flat.All owner occupied.

The building has a small communal hallway, and two flights of stairs.

The guidance seems to be that a Type LD2 Grade A installation is required, for the communal area.

The basement flat is not connected to  the communal area, and has its own entrance. Will that flat require a detector/sounder installed?

 

Thanks

    If the fire separation between it and the upper floors is OK then it wouldn't - but if (possible as a pre '91 conversion) it isn't then it'll possibly need heat detection off the common system
