Getting loft conversion fire doors right in Mid Glamorgan
Whether your building is in Rhondda, Tonypandy or a smaller place in Mid Glamorgan, we can provide loft conversion fire doors with the same evidence-led approach.
A loft conversion in Mid Glamorgan 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 Mid Glamorgan as your builder's subcontractor or directly for you.
Mid Glamorgan has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
Why loft conversions trigger fire doors
A two-storey house usually lets people escape from upstairs windows. Once a loft room is added, the top floor is too high for that, so the stair becomes the escape route and has to be protected from the ground floor up. That is why building control often asks for fire doors on rooms off the stair, including existing ground and first-floor rooms, not just the new loft room.
Rules and responsibilities in Mid Glamorgan
Because Mid Glamorgan is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Mid Glamorgan comes from your fire risk assessment.

Questions
Do you provide loft conversion fire doors across Mid Glamorgan?
Yes. We cover all of Mid Glamorgan, including Rhondda and Tonypandy. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
