A couple of years ago we bought our house. The previous owners had removed the wall that separated the hallway and stairs from the kitchen, making it open plan. However, whilst I didn’t give it much thought back then, now we have DC in the house I have concerns that this is a major fire hazard. The benefit of it being open plan is that we can fit a bigger table in, but I can’t shake off the worry that if a fire started in the kitchen, nothing would separate it from the stairs and the front door. Which is obviously far more important than fitting a big table in! My feeling is that we should have a wall put back up with a proper fire door installed; does anyone have any advice on what this might cost, roughly? We’re in the East Midlands. Thanks in advance for any help.
