Loft conversion fire doors for Bletchley buildings
If you need loft conversion fire doors in Bletchley, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Bletchley range from industrial estates to high-street shops and schools. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We can fit loft conversion fire doors in Bletchley as your builder's subcontractor or directly for you. For homes in Bletchley, we match fire doors to your existing style wherever certified options allow.
FD20 or FD30?
In England, the guidance generally asks for FD20 (E20) doors in this situation, and self-closers are not usually required within a house. Scotland is different: the domestic Technical Handbook expects doors onto the protected stair enclosure to be self-closing fire doors, so closers are part of the job there. Many homeowners choose FD30 doors anyway, because they are widely available and the price difference is small. Either way, the door must be fitted properly: correct gaps, fire-tested hinges and an intumescent strip where the product requires one.
On a typical job that means:
- Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
- Work coordinated with your builder
- Product details for building control

Common questions
Do you cover MK2 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Bletchley including MK2, and nearby towns such as Milton Keynes and Leighton Buzzard. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Bletchley?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Can you match my existing doors?
Certified fire doors come in many styles, including panelled and cottage designs, so a close match is usually possible.
Can I just add intumescent strips to my existing doors?
Generally no. A standard internal door is not a fire door, and strips alone will not make it one. Existing doors need to be replaced with certified fire doors.
