What loft conversion fire doors in Tyldesley should include
Our loft conversion fire doors service covers Tyldesley and the wider Greater Manchester area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Buildings in and around Tyldesley range from houses with integral garages to small blocks of flats and small offices. 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 Tyldesley, we match fire doors to your existing style wherever certified options allow. A loft conversion in Tyldesley 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Check of which openings need fire doors
- Work coordinated with your builder
- Frame repairs or new linings where needed
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
The regulations behind fire doors in Tyldesley
The rules that apply to fire doors in Tyldesley 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 Tyldesley 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.

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.
