Loft conversion fire doors for Andover buildings
We provide loft conversion fire doors in Andover (SP10 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Andover, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to light industrial buildings. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For homes in Andover, we match fire doors to your existing style wherever certified options allow. A loft conversion in Andover 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.
Each installation includes:
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
- Work coordinated with your builder
- Product details for building control
- Check of which openings need fire doors
Rules and responsibilities in Andover
In Andover, 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 Andover 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.

Certified fire doors come in many styles, including panelled and cottage designs, so a close match is usually possible.
