Hi folks,
Amongst the long list of things to do/considering doing is splitting a resonably decent sized room in two so the kids can have their own rooms. Apologies for the crudeness of the sketch, but here's what we have. The top image is what is there currently (blue being windows), the bottom image is what I'd like to do.
Building regulations largely confuse the life out of me. As we're living in the house and have no intention to sell for many years, we could just lash it up to suit ourselves, but I'd like to make it buildings regs compliant if possible.
So what I'd like to ask is, in the lower sketch, what width should the corridor be, and what widths should the doors and frames be to comply?
Obviously I'm going to check with building control nearer the time, but I'd like to have an idea in my head so I can measure up and see if the plans are workable.
Thanks in advance folks.
