There's always been a bit of an obsession with doors.

We've changed the way we specify and test structural fire resistance too. Maybe we should have all the beams columns floors and walls replaced too........

No... but they should be maintained & if significantly non-compliant with current standards then upgrading might be considered.  No different in concept to fire detection & alarm systems, fixed & portable fire-fighting kit etc, etc...

Yes, like the man says - a bit of common required.

Keep it quiet but I do find the purpose built flats guide has lots of very good common sense guidance and was very warmly received when it was published - and it is very cheap too unlike those BS documents.

Wee B, I for one vote that all existing columns and beams in Elland House be removed simultaneously with all existing DCLG staff, apart from yourself, in situ. The world would be no poorer and a much needed car park could be built. You, yourself, could then turn to the task of making AD B understandable by the common man. Once you do that, we can export you to Scotland to do the same for the Scottish technical handbooks, though that task, sadly, would see you out for the rest of your days. Then you could write a new one for NI since they cant be bothered to produce a new TB E.

Retters, please feel free to support an individual or organisation, but only in that order.

Silver, your golden tongue reference to the flats guide is to be admired.
