I understand that due to the loft being converted that smoke / fire detection has to be installed and that the primary access door to the loft must be fire rated.
In addition the local BC has told me to provide door closures to all 'main' door throughout the house.
Main doors are all bedroom and ground floor internal doors, the bathroom door doesn't require a closure.
Now the house is 110 years old, the doors are all original and all are a bit wonky (part due to original joinery, part due to being dip stripped of paint and the subsequent warping when drying out).
Putting full close, door closures will be a PITA (pain in the ...) due to factors already mentioned and use of rising butt hinges on all grd flr doors.
Is there anyway around the BC's request for closures throughout. Is this a normal BC spec nationally.
Thanks
