Fire doors in Heston protect escape routes in mixed-use office buildings, converted flats and clinics alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

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

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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Frame repairs or new linings where needed
• Check of which openings need fire doors
• Work coordinated with your builder
• Product details for building control
