Loft conversion fire doors for Hampton buildings
Our loft conversion fire doors service in Hampton is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Hampton has a broad mix of buildings, including hotels, care homes and student accommodation, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
A loft conversion in Hampton that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair. For homes in Hampton, we match fire doors to your existing style wherever certified options allow.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
- Frame repairs or new linings where needed
- Product details for building control
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
The regulations behind fire doors in Hampton
England's framework applies in Hampton. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors. Enforcement of fire safety law in Hampton sits with the London Fire Brigade.
For blocks over 11 metres in Hampton, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Questions from Hampton
Do you work in Hampton?
Yes, we take on loft conversion fire doors in Hampton and the surrounding area, including Hanworth and Sunbury-on-Thames. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
How quickly can you survey in Hampton?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
