Loft conversion fire doors in Bearsden, done to the evidence
Our loft conversion fire doors service covers Bearsden and the wider Dunbartonshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Bearsden, fire door work covers everything from small blocks of flats to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We can fit loft conversion fire doors in Bearsden as your builder's subcontractor or directly for you. For homes in Bearsden, 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.
Each installation includes:
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
- Work coordinated with your builder
- Check of which openings need fire doors
- Frame repairs or new linings where needed
