Hello All,
I am a new member and this is my first post, so please forgive me if I've not labelled it or categorized it correctly.
I'm an architectural technician and have recently taken on a job which involved dividing a shared integral garage into 2 halves (one side for each of the owners). It is situated at ground level, beneath a old Victorian house which has been divided into flats.
My question is: what specification does the dividing stud partition need to be? I know it has to be fire rated obviously, but I don't quite understand if it needs to have 2 skins (party wall) or just 1 skin. Does it need to be half hour/1 hour fire rated or more.
I can't find any specific guidance in the Building Regs or online, as this specific situation is not covered.
Please help.
Thanks, Katie
