Answer From Our Expert
by: Jeremy Wedge

Under Part B of the Building Regulations you have to comply with a number of criteria, these include protected routes and up grading doors to rooms below the loft.

If you are two storeys and add a third in the form of a loft extension you need as a minimum to change all doors that lead onto the escape route to 30min self closing Fire rated doors.

This should have been a minimum requirement and should have been specified by your designer.
