However when I wanted to cut an access hatch in it to make use of the roof space above for storing junk, the local council specified an asbestos substitute (maybe Asbestolux) as a covering for the trapdoor as it needed to be fire retardant. New builds in the early 80's were well aware of asbestos related problems.Another reg for fire proof is 2 sheets (2 layers ) of 12mm plasterboard or 1 layer of fire plasterboard which is a pink colour - red - as in fire.
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
