A loft conversion in Barnet that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair. We can fit loft conversion fire doors in Barnet as your builder's subcontractor or directly for you.

Why loft conversions trigger fire doors

A two-storey house usually lets people escape from upstairs windows. Once a loft room is added, the top floor is too high for that, so the stair becomes the escape route and has to be protected from the ground floor up. That is why building control often asks for fire doors on rooms off the stair, including existing ground and first-floor rooms, not just the new loft room.

What you get:

• Product details for building control
• Work coordinated with your builder
• Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
• FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style

Which fire door rules apply in Barnet?

The rules that apply to fire doors in Barnet are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.

Where a Barnet block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
