Loft conversion fire doors in Fleetwood

Getting loft conversion fire doors right in Fleetwood

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Fleetwood, we offer loft conversion fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Fire doors in Fleetwood protect escape routes in family homes after loft conversions, small blocks of flats and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

We can fit loft conversion fire doors in Fleetwood as your builder's subcontractor or directly for you. For homes in Fleetwood, we match fire doors to your existing style wherever certified options allow.

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.

On a typical job that means:

• FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
• Frame repairs or new linings where needed
• Product details for building control
• Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required

Rules and responsibilities in Fleetwood

England's framework applies in Fleetwood. 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 Fleetwood, 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.
