What loft conversion fire doors in Heywood should include
If you need loft conversion fire doors in Heywood, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Heywood range from light industrial buildings to schools and houses with integral garages. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
For homes in Heywood, we match fire doors to your existing style wherever certified options allow. A loft conversion in Heywood that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair.
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.
What you get:
- Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
- Check of which openings need fire doors
- Product details for building control
Fire door law for Heywood properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Heywood are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Heywood block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Questions from Heywood
Do you cover OL10 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Heywood including OL10, and nearby towns such as Middleton and Rochdale. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Heywood?
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.
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.
