Can someone give advice on building regs?
I'm opening my garage out a bit by knocking a side of the garage through into a walkway which is between the old house and garage.
When the garage was built, a new master bedroom was added upstairs above the walkway and garage.
The wall having a hole knocked through is being supported by steel beams etc.
Question is: what does the roof of the garage need to be lined with to meet fire regs - and apart from boxing off the steel, does the beam need any extra protection?
Thanks!
