Resident

Hi,

I live in a block of flats and we have a loft hatch along the escape route. The resident committee and I were wondering if we need it to be fire rated? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Adrian

I cannot be definitive without checking a number of items but the the chances are that a loft hatch along the escape route would need to be fire resistant, to what standard would depend on the situation that prevails.
