Loft conversion fire doors for Burnham-on-Sea buildings
Our loft conversion fire doors service in Burnham-on-Sea is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Buildings in and around Burnham-on-Sea range from light industrial buildings to family homes after loft conversions 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.
For homes in Burnham-on-Sea, we match fire doors to your existing style wherever certified options allow. A loft conversion in Burnham-on-Sea 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Work coordinated with your builder
- Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
- Check of which openings need fire doors
