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?
