[QUOTE="kme, post: 9715, member: 113"] Thanks Binky. I also posted this question on a fire & safety forum I found: [URL="http://www.fire.org.uk/punbb/upload/index.php"]http://www.fire.org.uk/punbb/upload/index.php[/URL] I`ll put it in the links section; as they seem to be brilliant for these questions (a bit like us, only on fire regs!) They`re responses are there for everyone to see; however, I`ll just provide the basics here: Property is NOT HMO; 5839 pt.6 covers individual flats; but not communal area. HMSO publication "Fire Protection in Sleeping Accomodation" does; but also calls for 30min fire doors at entrance to flats - which we don`t have. They`re proposing a LD2/D communal+heat in 1st room of each flat. Seperate LD2/D in each flat. Possibly with panel to determine location - which then makes it a C grade. In which case, there`s no point having seperate LD2 systems within each flat - may as well put a full grade C in. If the fire doors are installed, and compartmentation is sufficient, then the communal area doesn`t need ANY coverage, and an LD2/D within each flat would be acceptable. Very, VERY confusing area. ?:| ; \ ?:| :( ; \ :_| ?:| ? :| [/QUOTE]
