Is there such a thing as a fire umbrella in building regs part B?
Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.47 PM
THANK YOU FOR THE ANSWER 'Octo Building Contactors Ltd'. I've come across a fire strategy drawing that someone has drawn and they've highlighted an area on the floor plan and put a note which said something like 'fire umbrella to be an accordance with Approve Doc B', does anyone know what they could possibly mean by 'fire umbrella'?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?
