Loft conversion fire doors in Aberdeen, done to the evidence
Our loft conversion fire doors service covers Aberdeen and the wider Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire & Moray area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Aberdeen protect escape routes in purpose-built flats, offices and converted period houses alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For homes in Aberdeen, we match fire doors to your existing style wherever certified options allow. A loft conversion in Aberdeen that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair.
Working with your builder and building control
We can work as a subcontractor to your loft conversion builder or directly for you. We fit doors to match your existing style where certified options exist, and leave product details for building control. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own guidance on escape from upper floors; we check which applies to your home.
As standard, the work covers:
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
- Check of which openings need fire doors
- Product details for building control
- Work coordinated with your builder
The regulations behind fire doors in Aberdeen
Aberdeen is in Scotland, which has its own system. Building work, including many fire door replacements, is governed by the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and the Technical Handbooks, with Section 2 covering fire; where a building warrant is needed it comes from the local authority. In non-domestic premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 set the duties.
The common parts of private blocks of flats largely sit outside Part 3 of the 2005 Act, so the fire risk assessment and housing obligations usually drive fire door work in residential buildings in Aberdeen.

In Aberdeen, as elsewhere, the work is usually commissioned by homeowners, often alongside a builder or after a building control visit, so we fit around the household and leave the product details building control asks for.

Do all my doors need to be fire doors after a loft conversion?

Certified fire doors come in many styles, including panelled and cottage designs, so a close match is usually possible.
