Loft conversion fire doors in Hyde, done to the evidence

Fire doors in Hyde protect escape routes in schools, family homes after loft conversions and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We can fit loft conversion fire doors in Hyde as your builder's subcontractor or directly for you. For homes in Hyde, we match fire doors to your existing style wherever certified options allow.
FD20 or FD30?
In England, the guidance generally asks for FD20 (E20) doors in this situation, and self-closers are not usually required within a house. Scotland is different: the domestic Technical Handbook expects doors onto the protected stair enclosure to be self-closing fire doors, so closers are part of the job there. Many homeowners choose FD30 doors anyway, because they are widely available and the price difference is small. Either way, the door must be fitted properly: correct gaps, fire-tested hinges and an intumescent strip where the product requires one.
As standard, the work covers:
- Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
- Product details for building control
- Frame repairs or new linings where needed
- Check of which openings need fire doors
Rules and responsibilities in Hyde
In Hyde, 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.
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 Hyde 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.
Which buildings in Hyde need loft conversion fire doors?
The need for loft conversion fire doors usually arises in semi-detached houses or detached family homes, and sometimes bungalows gaining an upper floor. In Hyde we can work for you directly or alongside your builder, and single doors are as welcome as whole-house jobs.

Questions from Hyde
Do you cover SK14 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Hyde including SK14, and nearby towns such as Denton and Dukinfield. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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 you match my existing doors?
Certified fire doors come in many styles, including panelled and cottage designs, so a close match is usually possible.
