Loft conversion fire doors in Kidsgrove

What loft conversion fire doors in Kidsgrove should include

Fire doors in Kidsgrove protect escape routes in family homes after loft conversions, small blocks of flats and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

We can fit loft conversion fire doors in Kidsgrove as your builder's subcontractor or directly for you. For homes in Kidsgrove, we match fire doors to your existing style wherever certified options allow.

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:

• Frame repairs or new linings where needed
• Work coordinated with your builder
• Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
• Check of which openings need fire doors
