A loft conversion in Weston-super-Mare that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair. For homes in Weston-super-Mare, 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:
- Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
- Frame repairs or new linings where needed
- Work coordinated with your builder

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.
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.
