We are refurbing our home to host as an Air BnB host and wondered if in addition to the Home Safety Checklist, whether we need to give consideration to fitting 'fire doors

Does anyone have advice on the need for fire doors. we have read through the safety checklist and can't see a reference to whether fire doors are needed?

You need to have fire doors for HMO's but I am not sure whether you need them for short term rentals in the UK. @Karen3542 

 

It might be worth you checking with the English Tourist Board pink book. Or joining PASC the UK organisations for short term rentals.
