Loft conversion fire doors in Farnborough: what's involved
Our loft conversion fire doors service covers Farnborough and the wider Hampshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Around Farnborough, HMOs, family homes after loft conversions and high-street shops all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
A loft conversion in Farnborough that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair. For homes in Farnborough, 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:
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
- Check of which openings need fire doors
- Product details for building control
- Frame repairs or new linings where needed
What the rules say for Farnborough

Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Questions from Farnborough
Do you work in Farnborough?
Yes, we take on loft conversion fire doors in Farnborough and the surrounding area, including Camberley and Aldershot. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
How quickly can you survey in Farnborough?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
