What loft conversion fire doors in Gosport should include
If you need loft conversion fire doors in Gosport, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Gosport has a broad mix of buildings, including HMOs, care homes and high-street shops, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
A loft conversion in Gosport that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair. For homes in Gosport, 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
- Product details for building control
- Work coordinated with your builder
- Frame repairs or new linings where needed
The regulations behind fire doors in Gosport
England's framework applies in Gosport. 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 Gosport, 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 from Gosport
Is Gosport within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Gosport in Hampshire and neighbouring towns such as Portsmouth. There is no charge for the survey.
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.
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.
