Loft conversion fire doors in Mansfield, done to the evidence
We provide loft conversion fire doors in Mansfield (NG18 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Buildings in and around Mansfield range from industrial units to HMOs and offices. 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 Mansfield that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair. For homes in Mansfield, 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Check of which openings need fire doors
- Frame repairs or new linings where needed
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
- Work coordinated with your builder

Questions from Mansfield
Is Mansfield within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Mansfield in Nottinghamshire and neighbouring towns such as Sutton in Ashfield. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Mansfield?
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.
