Loft conversion fire doors in Cambuslang, done to the evidence

Looking for loft conversion fire doors in Cambuslang? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Cambuslang and the wider Lanarkshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Cambuslang has a broad mix of buildings, including houses with integral garages, small blocks of flats and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

For homes in Cambuslang, we match fire doors to your existing style wherever certified options allow. A loft conversion in Cambuslang that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair.

FD20 or FD30?

In England, the guidance generally asks for FD20 (E20) doors in this situation, and self-closers are not usually required within a house. Scotland is different: the domestic Technical Handbook expects doors onto the protected stair enclosure to be self-closing fire doors, so closers are part of the job there. Many homeowners choose FD30 doors anyway, because they are widely available and the price difference is small. Either way, the door must be fitted properly: correct gaps, fire-tested hinges and an intumescent strip where the product requires one.

As standard, the work covers:

• Product details for building control
• Work coordinated with your builder
• Frame repairs or new linings where needed
• Check of which openings need fire doors
