Loft conversion fire doors: our service in Newport (Gwent)
When you book loft conversion fire doors in Newport (Gwent), the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Newport (Gwent) protect escape routes in schools, HMOs and converted period houses alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
A loft conversion in Newport (Gwent) that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair. We can fit loft conversion fire doors in Newport (Gwent) as your builder's subcontractor or directly for you.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Work coordinated with your builder
- Frame repairs or new linings where needed
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
- Check of which openings need fire doors
The regulations behind fire doors in Newport (Gwent)
Because Newport (Gwent) is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Newport (Gwent) comes from your fire risk assessment.

Questions
Do you work in Newport (Gwent)?
Yes, we take on loft conversion fire doors in Newport (Gwent) and the surrounding area, including Risca and Cwmbran. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Newport (Gwent) building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
