Some advice please
A mate of mine is in the middle of a loft conversion to a
house.
The council have now insisted he replace all his Pine
doors throughout the house with Firedoors
Is that right?

Not usually. How many storeys is the house?

With a conventional two storey house, the usual arrangement is to use
fire doors on any new habitable rooms in the conversion, and then add
self closers to any doors that open onto the main escape route from the
loft.

He may have difficulties if the existing doors have glass panels though.

Note also that I have a feeling the rules in this are due to change
shortly.
