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:
- Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
- Work coordinated with your builder
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
- Frame repairs or new linings where needed

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.
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.
