Thinking about it I wonder what the insurance implications would be? I'll bet it's like mods on your car, the insurance company would wriggle out of paying up. Wouldn't have to be anything serious, maybe just some smoke damage that travels through the house. No risk to life and limb but ££££ to put right.

Good point about insurance. I think I'm just going to get decent 30s looking fire doors so I can keep the nice look, but be compliant. They have to be self closing though which is a pain. I'm sure I'll end up propping them open which again would probably have insurance implications!
