That would be a yes mate.On each of the landings and at the bottom of the stairs.Is there any fire escapes in the building.

its an old Victorian terraced house front and back door.
I have been looking on the net and can't find a lot of information on lighting.
away from lighting I did see something about all doors except bathroom should be fire rated with automatic fire closers
can you shed any light on this???
