loft conversion fire regs

[bonaome]

Hello. Does anyone know if Southwark Building control (council, not private) require both smoke alarms and fire doors? Or does anyone understand what the regulations are? We have a standard Victorian 2 storey house, converting loft to make 3rd storey. I've called up but they don't take calls, and I've emailed but had no response.

Thanks

Yep, fire doors throughout the whole house (except bathrooms I think), and smoke alarms.

The smoke alarms have to be wired in with a battery back up, battery only ones aren't acceptable.

And I think that the doors have to be self closing.
