Fire doors for rented flats

[Guest Helena daly]

Hi Everyone

I hope you can help.  I am refurbishing my flat for renting and I wondered if I am required to have fire doors on sitting room, kitchen and bedrooms.  The previous doors were not fire doors but hollow doors so can I simply replace them more solid doors.

Thanks

Helena you need you need to give much more information, the layout of the flat, how many floors, which floor is your flat on, is the building control involved, as there is a very good chance they should be, and finally is the premises a Purpose Built Blocks of Flats or a converted house. There could also be further questions depending on your response.
