Loft conversion fire doors for Wisbech buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Wisbech, we offer loft conversion fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Wisbech, fire door work covers everything from small blocks of flats to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
A loft conversion in Wisbech that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair. For homes in Wisbech, we match fire doors to your existing style wherever certified options allow.
Why loft conversions trigger fire doors
A two-storey house usually lets people escape from upstairs windows. Once a loft room is added, the top floor is too high for that, so the stair becomes the escape route and has to be protected from the ground floor up. That is why building control often asks for fire doors on rooms off the stair, including existing ground and first-floor rooms, not just the new loft room.
Each installation includes:
- Work coordinated with your builder
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
- Check of which openings need fire doors
- Frame repairs or new linings where needed

Questions from Wisbech
Do you work in Wisbech?

Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Wisbech building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
