Loft conversion fire doors in Cirencester

Loft conversion fire doors in Cirencester, done to the evidence

When you book loft conversion fire doors in Cirencester, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.

Buildings in and around Cirencester range from small blocks of flats to light industrial buildings and family homes after loft conversions. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

We can fit loft conversion fire doors in Cirencester as your builder's subcontractor or directly for you. For homes in Cirencester, 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
• Frame repairs or new linings where needed
• Check of which openings need fire doors
• FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
