Loft conversion fire doors in Clevedon, done to the evidence
Our loft conversion fire doors service covers Clevedon and the wider Somerset area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Clevedon, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For homes in Clevedon, we match fire doors to your existing style wherever certified options allow. A loft conversion in Clevedon that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Frame repairs or new linings where needed
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
- Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
- Check of which openings need fire doors
The regulations behind fire doors in Clevedon
In Clevedon, 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 Clevedon 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.

Questions from Clevedon
Is Clevedon within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Clevedon in Somerset and neighbouring towns such as Nailsea. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Clevedon 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 you match my existing doors?
Certified fire doors come in many styles, including panelled and cottage designs, so a close match is usually possible.
