Loft conversion fire doors for Stafford buildings
If you need loft conversion fire doors in Stafford, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Stafford protect escape routes in HMOs, family homes after loft conversions and high-street shops alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
A loft conversion in Stafford that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair. For homes in Stafford, we match fire doors to your existing style wherever certified options allow.
Why loft conversions trigger fire doors
A two-storey house usually lets people escape from upstairs windows. Once a loft room is added, the top floor is too high for that, so the stair becomes the escape route and has to be protected from the ground floor up. That is why building control often asks for fire doors on rooms off the stair, including existing ground and first-floor rooms, not just the new loft room.
What you get:
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
- Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
- Check of which openings need fire doors
- Work coordinated with your builder
Fire door law for Stafford properties
In Stafford, 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 Stafford 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.
Where loft conversion fire doors fit in Stafford
