Hi all, I am planning a loft conversion on my bungalow and have a question so can someone please help.
Basically I am planning to run a set of stairs up into the loft and have a large open plan bedroom with on-suite and a walk in wardrobe.
My question is do I need to put a fire door on the top or bottom of the stairs or can I just have a fire escape Velux.
The new room will have a front facing dormer and a couple of Velux windows to the sides and also a mains fire alarm connected to the existing mains alarm in the bungalow.
The work will all be done with planning consent but I'm just looking for a heads up before I get the plans drawn up or apply for anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
