Hey there

We're mid-extension build currently.
Unfortunately we've had a falling out with the builder over progress and money, so think it's going to be on me to finish up...

On the last building control visit, he advises that the dividing wall between the utility and "garage/storage" room needs to have a 30min fireproof wall all the way upto the underside of the warm roof deck.
We've used posi joists for the roof, and the stud wall lands inline with a posi joist, so I'm trying to figure out how to handle the area above the stud wall.

Can I just run a layer of fireboard plasterboard all the way to the roof deck?

The other complication is that I've got a load of pipes that need to run perpendicular to this dividing wall as we're moving the boiler into the new garage area..
The inspector mentioned an intrumisent color for a 110mm waste pipe. I'm assuming the same would work? Or mastic around the smaller pipes...

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Cheers
