Concrete where I did not expect it !

i know of one case here a few years ago of a man that built a shop (convienince store) and 2 flats over it . he did something wrong with the floors and had to take them out and put in beam and block so that the fire officer would sign off on it.

Seen quite a few refurbs where similar has happened. Never had a discussion on site with a fire officer but have had many a stand up "debate"with the building inspectorate...

Sorry. It was just it made me chuckle cos we had discussed this very thing earlier in the thread and it is not actually correct ... Or at least not that simple...

Apology accepted that's what I was always to believe thanks for putting me right.

Seen quite a lot of flats built where the staircase is block and bisons and the apartments are timber framed.

Makes sense because if there were to be a fire stairs being communal areas would have different requirements to the living areas and so must provide a suitable escape route. If the stairs were wooden there would be a serious risk of entrapment...
