We are thinking of getting a loft extension done so had a few builders round for quotes. Our house has an open plan front lounge and hall (theres a sort of half hight wall between them),and the hall then leads past the stairs to a kitchen with no door in the doorway between kitchen and hallway. The last builder said that our downstairs was not compliant with building regs and we would either have to insatll a stud wall to seperate the lounge from the hall or some bizaar sounding descending temporary fitting which we would raise and lower as we needed it. He also said this would have to be done before the loft could be signed off. Given that no work whatsoever is taking place downstairs is he talking rubbish or is this correct advice?
