Working with your builder and building control
We can work as a subcontractor to your loft conversion builder or directly for you.

- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
- Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
- Check of which openings need fire doors
- Frame repairs or new linings where needed

Common questions
Do you work in King's Lynn?
Yes, we take on loft conversion fire doors in King's Lynn and the surrounding area, including Wisbech and March. 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.
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.
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.
