Loft conversion fire doors in Eltham

Getting loft conversion fire doors right in Eltham

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Eltham, we offer loft conversion fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Fire doors in Eltham protect escape routes in care homes, purpose-built blocks of flats and hotels alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

For homes in Eltham, we match fire doors to your existing style wherever certified options allow. A loft conversion in Eltham that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair.

Working with your builder and building control

We can work as a subcontractor to your loft conversion builder or directly for you. We fit doors to match your existing style where certified options exist, and leave product details for building control. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own guidance on escape from upper floors; we check which applies to your home.

On a typical job that means:

• Frame repairs or new linings where needed
• Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
• FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
• Product details for building control
