Hi, it is called the 997 fire I believe and it came from Modus Fireplaces. Hope that helps!

I have been given planning permission for a habitable room in the loft. One of the planning rules stipulates that the window opening must be at least 1.7m above floor level. I can't get my head around how you would get out of the room if there was a fire below and you could not use the stairs. I guess you could smash a window but not sure my 5 year old would be strong enough. Has anyone had any experience of such rules? Any help would be much appreciated.

Oh no! In that case I'd consider an armchair in the bay, and having the TV on a low sideboard opposite it. I would still consider having the top half of the cupboard open and placing some books and other decorative items here.

It needs to be fire safe according to building regs. That doesn’t mean just a fire escape window, it’s not that simple. You will need at least FD30 fire rated staircase, ALL doors before this FD30 as well as an FD30 door either at the top or bottom of the stairs. FD hinges. Smoke seals. Smoke alarms (ideally mains with battery back up). The stairs need to be enclosed with FD material, you cannot have an open staircase for obvious reasons with how smoke and fire spreads. Also ensure adequate ventilation in there & check the staircase isn’t too steep according to building regs. This sounds a lot. But a couple died sleeping in a loft room only last year. Just because there’s a fire escape window does not make the room habitable or safe by any means. Contact your local building control dept for advice. The whole aim is to slow the spread of fire & smoke down with fire rated doors & staircase, to give the fire brigade a chance to arrive and safely rescue you. Climbing out on to a roof of a burning house may be possible for you but with no adequate control, the fire & smoke will soon catch you up. That’s if you’re even lucky to be awake/conscious from inhaling smoke. Remember, smoke kills. Please do not sleep in this room without it being checked off by building control.

Yes it is the only one and we no longer have a connecting door into the en suite. I dread the thought of having to go back for permission for a skylight even though it is a bungalow. I do wonder if the building control officer will pick up on it.
