Loft conversion fire doors in Hucknall

Loft conversion fire doors: our service in Hucknall

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Hucknall, we offer loft conversion fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

In and around Hucknall, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

For homes in Hucknall, we match fire doors to your existing style wherever certified options allow. A loft conversion in Hucknall that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair.

FD20 or FD30?

In England, the guidance generally asks for FD20 (E20) doors in this situation, and self-closers are not usually required within a house. Scotland is different: the domestic Technical Handbook expects doors onto the protected stair enclosure to be self-closing fire doors, so closers are part of the job there. Many homeowners choose FD30 doors anyway, because they are widely available and the price difference is small. Either way, the door must be fitted properly: correct gaps, fire-tested hinges and an intumescent strip where the product requires one.

What you get:

• Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
• Product details for building control
• Work coordinated with your builder
• Check of which openings need fire doors

Fire door law for Hucknall properties

In Hucknall, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.

Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Hucknall building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
