Our house has an integral garage which has been partitioned off previously but i would like to do a proper job on it so need some advice.
Originally the garage was accessed only by the up & over door but a few years ago a door was knocked through from the living room. This door has since been boarded over inside the house and an external pvc door fitted to access from the outside. A raised floor was laid with timbers and a stud wall was installed to partition off the up and over garage area from the new room.
The room is only access by external door now.
I would like to submit plans to the council to carry out the works to complete this room and currently have the floor up to install insulation between the joists.
The partition wall is currently just one layer of 9.5 plasterboard.
What regs would i need to comply with? Would the partition wall need to be fireproof?
Anything else i need to consider?
