We are in the process of getting plans drawn up for a loft conversion on our 1930s semi. All was progressing ok but we've now been told by the architect that we due to building regs we're going to need a fire door between our lovely open plan kitchen/diner and the hall. There is currently no door there at all and no obvious way to add one without severely impacting on the kitchen and overall space of the downstairs of the house. We're happy to replace all existing doors with fire doors but adding a door/wall is going to be a bit of a show-stopper. Our plans include wired-in fire alarms too. Anyone with any experience on this? Is there anyway round it? I'm feeling gutted that we might not be able to go ahead.
