Hi All
I'm just in the process of selling my property which is an old (1890) Victorian mid terrace house. The survey from the Purchaser has flagged up the party walls as being incomplete and that the sale cannot proceed until the wall is completed (due to Fire regulations).
So essentially I need to fireproof the party wall. Most of it is built from brick but at the ends where it is very difficult to get to the bricks stop short of the eaves. Firstly I'm assuming that the bricks should go right up to the end?
My question is what would be the easiest/quickest way to resolve this whilst keeping the surveyor happy? I've been told that cutting/wedging a fireproof foam board would be a good option and then seal around it (Rockwool Ablative Coated Batt). More bricks/mortar would be too difficult. Also putting in plasterboard would be very difficult (at least for me).
What do you reckon - I've included a picture so you can understand what I mean.
Thanks
Liam
