Loft conversion fire doors: our service in Luton
Looking for loft conversion fire doors in Luton? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Luton and the wider Bedfordshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Luton has a broad mix of buildings, including hotels, converted flats and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
A loft conversion in Luton that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair. For homes in Luton, we match fire doors to your existing style wherever certified options allow.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Product details for building control
- Work coordinated with your builder
- Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
Which fire door rules apply in Luton?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Luton are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Luton block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Usually the doors from habitable rooms onto the stair do, on every floor. Bathrooms are often excluded. Building control decides for your house.
