Hi,

Im building a partition wall and need to add a couple doorways to
bedrooms, all the other doors in my house are 32", which is
impractical for the new doors.

I see wickes sell 27" and 30" doors.... does anyone know what the
modern standard door size that is fitted is? is 27" ok with regards to
building regs etc etc etc for a bedroom..

sorry to sound thick on this but I just need to know any details on
this

You usually find a 30" door is standard for bedrooms, and the bathroom is
27" - no idea why. You can get 32" doors.

You don't need to take furniture in and out of a bathroom

You can get 32" doors.

Often 80" high

Also a smaller (inward opening) door eats up less space in a small bathroom.

Prolly cos you don't have to get a bed and a wardrobe into a bathroom ;-)

I recently did the same thing to a property and used 30" doors where
possible, but for 1 bedroom I had to use a 27" one, to make the layout
work. Certainly no problem for building control.
