Last time I read the building regs about 7 years ago, they said that two flats on the same level had to be separated by a" fireproof wall". Does anyone know what they consider to be "fireproof"?
Regarding a wall between two flats on the ground floor of a building with a suspended floor, would a studwork wall built from a suspended floor up to the ceiling comply, - or does it have to be a brick/block wall extending all the way down to the solid ground underneath the suspended floor?
If the former, does the plasterboard have to be a particular thickness to be classed as fireproof? If the latter, can any type of block be used?
Many thanks
