My private building regs inspector (when analysing my architect's plans for the existing major renovation of our house), told him that it was not necessary to have intumescent strip on every door in the house esp the first and second floor bedroom landing but that it would be needed between the internal garage and the ground floor room connecting to it.
Do any of you have similar experiences or have your building inspectors required you to have these strips on fittings of new doors and linings? Is the situation any different for a complete brand new build?
Also should the strips be in the doors or the door frame/lining?
