  1. Many thanks @AnthonyB and @Daniel Bennett. You have been really helpful.
  2. Many thanks, Anthony. This is very helpful. We are being told that due to the property having four floors we have to have a sprinkler system or an alternative escape route other than the stairs for the 4th floor. Have you come across this situation? The building control person is telling us that this is due to section 2.5b, diagram 2.1, image d. Does this section only apply to dwelling houses, which consist of 2 or more residences as opposed to a SINGLE FAMILY dwelling house?
  3. Hello, I am struggling to find an answer to the situation I am facing. I am converting a Victorian house, which was converted into 3 flats in 2010 back into a single family house. My budget is tight and I am hearing conflicting views about the applicability of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. These state that the Regulation applies to a building with two ore more residential units. Given that the house is currently uninhabitable due to building work and will be habitable as a single family home after the renovation, I am struggling to see how the Regulations apply. My building control person (privately appointed) is insisting they do apply and that I have to install very expensive water misters throughout the property. Please could someone point me in the right direction? Many thanks Natacha
