Hi all
I am planning a re-model of our kitchen which is a single storey extension with a pitched roof. Currently the extension is split into an awkward 2 rooms with the loft access being gained from a not so useful size/shape utility area. Are there fire regs implications in having a loft hatch in the main kitchen area? Does it have to be something special to ensure fire resistance of 1/2 hour or longer?
TIA

Would suggest you fit hard wired heat alarm in Kitchen; assume loft just for storage.
Heat alarm must be interconnected to existing smoke alarms

Thanks - yes loft for storage only. I was aware of the requirement for heat detector, but was unsure about whether anything special had to be done to the access hatch.
Anyone else in the know?
