Loft conversion fire doors in Tonypandy: what's involved
Our loft conversion fire doors service in Tonypandy is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Buildings in and around Tonypandy range from low-rise blocks of flats to industrial estates and family homes after loft conversions. 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 Tonypandy that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair. For homes in Tonypandy, 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.
What you get:
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
- Product details for building control
- Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
- Frame repairs or new linings where needed
What the rules say for Tonypandy
Tonypandy 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 from Tonypandy
Do you work in Tonypandy?
Yes, we take on loft conversion fire doors in Tonypandy and the surrounding area, including Rhondda and Pontypridd. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Tonypandy 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.
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.
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.
