Owning your own home

mister

I thought you were the man of the house etc.

We have that, so we didn't need to reinstate a hallway wall in our very tiny terrace house when we got the loft done.

Anecdotally, everyone else seems to put up a stud wall, get BC signoff then take it down again.

I'm having to install a mister in my house so I can remove a wall and a fire door

We just didn't bother doing this. When we sell we'll put in back in if the buyer wants, but plan A will be persuading them that it's much better without (which it is).

There are plenty of exits so it doesn't worry us.

Didn't see this post.

Around ours, it appears to be common for building control to sign off on spec of mist systems, rather than the actual install.

Worth having a chat with people around you that have had conversions done.

(I may haver spent a few weeks just knocking on doors and being shown around complete strangers' houses.)

Not that I am suggesting you do get sign off and forget about the install.
