Getting loft conversion fire doors right in Maesteg
When you book loft conversion fire doors in Maesteg, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Buildings in and around Maesteg range from light industrial buildings to small blocks of flats and care homes. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
A loft conversion in Maesteg that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair. For homes in Maesteg, we match fire doors to your existing style wherever certified options allow.
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
- Check of which openings need fire doors
- Product details for building control
- Frame repairs or new linings where needed
Rules and responsibilities in Maesteg
Maesteg 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.

Questions
Is Maesteg within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Maesteg in Mid Glamorgan and neighbouring towns such as Briton Ferry. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Maesteg?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
