Getting loft conversion fire doors right in Rhosllannerchrugog
We provide loft conversion fire doors in Rhosllannerchrugog (LL14 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Rhosllannerchrugog has a broad mix of buildings, including light industrial buildings, small blocks of flats and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
A loft conversion in Rhosllannerchrugog that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair. For homes in Rhosllannerchrugog, 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.
What you get:
- 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

England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Rhosllannerchrugog comes from your fire risk assessment.

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.
