Loft conversion fire doors for Ammanford buildings
Our loft conversion fire doors service covers Ammanford and the wider Dyfed area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Ammanford protect escape routes in family homes after loft conversions, schools and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We can fit loft conversion fire doors in Ammanford as your builder's subcontractor or directly for you. For homes in Ammanford, 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
- Product details for building control
- Frame repairs or new linings where needed
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
Which fire door rules apply in Ammanford?
Because Ammanford is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Ammanford comes from your fire risk assessment.

Common questions
Do you cover SA18 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Ammanford including SA18, and nearby towns such as Gorseinon and Llanelli. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Ammanford?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
