What loft conversion fire doors in Royton should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Royton, we offer loft conversion fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Royton protect escape routes in small offices, houses with integral garages and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
A loft conversion in Royton that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair. For homes in Royton, we match fire doors to your existing style wherever certified options allow.
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:
- Product details for building control
- Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
- Frame repairs or new linings where needed
- Check of which openings need fire doors
What the rules say for Royton
England's framework applies in Royton. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. 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.
For blocks over 11 metres in Royton, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Questions
Do you work in Royton?
Yes, we take on loft conversion fire doors in Royton and the surrounding area, including Chadderton and Oldham. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
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.
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.
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.
