Loft conversion fire doors in Mitcham: what's involved
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Mitcham, we offer loft conversion fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Mitcham, fire door work covers everything from purpose-built blocks of flats to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
A loft conversion in Mitcham 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 Mitcham as your builder's subcontractor or directly for you.
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:
- Work coordinated with your builder
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
- Frame repairs or new linings where needed
- Check of which openings need fire doors

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.

In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
