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.
Each installation includes:
- Product details for building control
- Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
- Frame repairs or new linings where needed
The regulations behind fire doors in Speke
The rules that apply to fire doors in Speke are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Speke block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
Where loft conversion fire doors fit in Speke

Questions
Do you work in Speke?
Yes, we take on loft conversion fire doors in Speke and the surrounding area, including Halewood and Garston. 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 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.
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.
