Hi all
We are about to have the builders in to mess about with the downstairs layout of the house which involves replacing all of the doors and the door stops.
We will likely do the loft in the next few years so even though the drawings dont show it, the builder suggests we fit fire doors now so we don't have to mess about with the stops if we do decide to do the loft. This seems like a good idea, but the cost is not inconsiderable. Do we actually have to have a door to all rooms? E.g. we've never closed the kitchen door and I can't see that we ever would - am I obliged to spend £000s on a fire door if my preference is simply to have no door at all? And is there anything stopping me fitting any old fire door to pass building control, and then removing it later? Thanks
