Loft conversion fire doors in Huntingdon, done to the evidence
If you need loft conversion fire doors in Huntingdon, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Huntingdon, fire door work covers everything from small offices to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For homes in Huntingdon, we match fire doors to your existing style wherever certified options allow. A loft conversion in Huntingdon 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.
Each installation includes:
- Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
- Work coordinated with your builder
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
- Product details for building control
Fire door law for Huntingdon properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Huntingdon 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 Huntingdon 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.
Buildings and duty holders in Huntingdon

How quickly can you survey in Huntingdon?
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.
