June 17, 20242 yr Evening all, we have a double garage that connects to our house with a room above it. I am aware that we need fire rated plasterboard on the ceiling on the garage but the BCO attended today and said we need it on all the walls as well. that's the wall that adjoins the house and all the other external wall too. this is news to me! anyone else had to do this? I'll go through the building regs later when I have more time to see if I can find any information to refute this one but thought I'd ask on here first.
June 17, 20242 yr Hi @Thorfun I think if you have timber framed load bearing walls they will need protecting with fireboard. No point fire boarding the ceiling if the walls burning will make the room above collapse into the garage .... Good luck
