But doesn't meet fire regs (No escape window and only a cover across
the top of the stairs and not a proper room ...
How does that work ? Can you class it as a room - could it have met
building regs when it was done?

Thanks

Can you class it as a room -

You can class it as a fire trap if someone regularly sleeps in it.

could it have met building regs when it was done?

Yes - back in the days of Oliver Twist.

You can fit a velux roof light in, you can insulate the void between
the ceiling and the roof covering, you can have a eletric light in
there, you can have it plastered out, you can fit a drop down ladder
access. But with out fire regs its only a store room.
