Been asked by a BTL landlord to do some work to bring a small terraced house
up to standard.

BCO have specified that the existing door leading to the kitchen should be
fitted with intumescent seals and cold smoke seals.

She assures me that the existing door is a fire door, but I'm getting alarm
bells ringing.

Two reasons; I thought all fire doors should already be fitted with
intumescent seals as standard? And the door doesn't have a self closer of
any sort. I thought that should be standard as well?

The door to my integral garage is half-hour fireproof. It has neither
intumescent seals or a self closer.



A visit, or phone call to your local fire station should get some help.
They are extremely helpful in these matters and may even be willing to
visit the site.
