Compartmentation within roof void/loft space - Converted properties with Simultaneous Evacuation Strategy

Featured Replies

In existing properties converted into flats with a simultaneous evacuation strategy, is there ever a requirement to sub-divide the roof void/loft space?

For example, a four storey mid-terrace Victorian property converted into flats accessed via a single communal stairwell with two flats located at top floor level.

An additional question is what is the requirement for fire separation between the roof void and the escape route/stairwell in a converted property with a simultaneous evacuation approach? (i.e. to stop a fire within the roof void passing into the escape route).
