Loft conversion fire doors in Cleethorpes, done to the evidence
Our loft conversion fire doors service covers Cleethorpes and the wider Lincolnshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Cleethorpes protect escape routes in care homes, family homes after loft conversions and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
A loft conversion in Cleethorpes that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair. We can fit loft conversion fire doors in Cleethorpes as your builder's subcontractor or directly for you.
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.
What you get:
- Work coordinated with your builder
- Check of which openings need fire doors

Questions
Do you work in Cleethorpes?
Yes, we take on loft conversion fire doors in Cleethorpes and the surrounding area, including Grimsby and Kingston upon Hull. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
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.
Do all my doors need to be fire doors after a loft conversion?
Usually the doors from habitable rooms onto the stair do, on every floor. Bathrooms are often excluded. Building control decides for your house.
Do loft conversion fire doors need closers?
Not usually within a single-family house in England. In Scotland, doors onto the protected stair enclosure are expected to be self-closing. Wales and Northern Ireland have their own guidance, and your building control body may ask for something different in particular layouts.
