Thanks. Think that tallies with our googling so far. Can see the need for the regs of course, but seemed odd to have to build an extra wall in order to close it off. Fancy sprinklers probably the way forward. Or staggering the work so that the hallway/door comes last, with a separate contractor, then running out of money and having to postpone that bit...
(The running out of money bit might not be a lie in any event. Architect started out with 'sure, £xx is doable'. Now the tender is coming back and it's not even in the same ballpark. Joy)
were just about finished a job and the guys budget was 70k, he's well past 115 now. More so because the joiners he got in have took the piss. So defo keep an eye on stuff as folk will rip it if they get half a chance.
