Bricking up a back door - Building Regs?

paintpot

Hi

I am going to create a large kitchen/dining room from what is currently three separate rooms and it will involve removing and bricking up my back door. The walls are all stud wall so no problem there but does anyone know whether bricking up a back door involves building regs please?

Thanks

No it doesn't. But you may need to check fire regs. As far as I am aware you need 2 opening doors on the GF of your house. If you have a patio door, dining room door or other GF door apart from the Front Door, then there is no problem.

Brilliant, thank you, I have a front door and patio doors so I'm safe

I can confirm this, recently did the same thing, and was told by someone at the council that this was the case.
