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

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.

Since April (2007), all doors onto the escape route have to be fire
resisting (new or upgraded) to at least 20 minutes. They don't have
to be fitted with self-closers, and there's no longer a requirement
for an escape window in the roof.

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

Too late.
