Loft conversion fire doors: our service in Ayrshire
We provide loft conversion fire doors across Ayrshire, covering 3 towns and 31 postcode districts, including Kilmarnock, Ayr and Irvine.
A loft conversion in Ayrshire that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair. For homes in Ayrshire, we match fire doors to your existing style wherever certified options allow.
Ayrshire has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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.
Fire door law for Ayrshire properties
In Ayrshire, fire doors are specified against Scotland's Technical Handbooks (Section 2: Fire) under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, rather than Approved Document B. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
England's regulation 10 does not apply in Scotland. We follow the building's fire risk assessment and, where building work needs a warrant, the local authority's requirements.
