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.
Rules and responsibilities in East Riding of Yorkshire
Fire doors in East Riding of Yorkshire fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B.

Common questions
Do you provide loft conversion fire doors across East Riding of Yorkshire?
Yes. We cover all of East Riding of Yorkshire, including Kingston upon Hull and Bridlington. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
Do loft conversion fire doors need closers?
Not usually within a single-family house in England. In Scotland, doors onto the protected stair enclosure are expected to be self-closing. Wales and Northern Ireland have their own guidance, and your building control body may ask for something different in particular layouts.
