Hi all,
please bare with me on the length here ....
i was pretty sure i didn't need planning permission to convert the back section of my garage (adjoining the house) into a utility room, so i put up a stud wall and plastered etc and (though i say myself) i think i've done a pretty good job )
Now, about 8 years ago (a little before i started the conversion i hasten to add!!) we had the door put in to allow access from the hall to the garage and the builder assured us that we did not need a fire door. I now believe this to be wrong and we SHOULD have had a fire door fitted. So my question (at last) is does this STILL need to be a fire door now that the door is only into the utility section and not into the garage (which is now the other side of the stud wall with fire retardant insulation..
Any thoughts anyone would be greatly accepted.
Thanks for sticking with me
best regards,
Presto
