Loft conversion fire doors in Aberdare, done to the evidence
Our loft conversion fire doors service in Aberdare is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Aberdare has a broad mix of buildings, including houses with integral garages, small offices and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
A loft conversion in Aberdare 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 Aberdare as your builder's subcontractor or directly for you.
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:
- Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
- Work coordinated with your builder
- Product details for building control
Rules and responsibilities in Aberdare
Aberdare is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.
One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.

Common questions
Do you cover CF44 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Aberdare including CF44, and nearby towns such as Rhondda and Merthyr Tydfil. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Aberdare building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Can I just add intumescent strips to my existing doors?
Generally no. A standard internal door is not a fire door, and strips alone will not make it one. Existing doors need to be replaced with certified fire doors.
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.
