Loft conversion fire doors for Wallington buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Wallington, we offer loft conversion fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Wallington range from restaurants to clinics and care homes. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
A loft conversion in Wallington 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 Wallington 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Frame repairs or new linings where needed
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
- Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
- Product details for building control
Which fire door rules apply in Wallington?
In Wallington, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Wallington building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Common questions
Is Wallington within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Wallington in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Carshalton. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Wallington?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
Do all my doors need to be fire doors after a loft conversion?
Usually the doors from habitable rooms onto the stair do, on every floor. Bathrooms are often excluded. Building control decides for your house.
