A loft conversion in Ashford (Surrey) that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair. We can fit loft conversion fire doors in Ashford (Surrey) as your builder's subcontractor or directly for you.
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:
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
- Check of which openings need fire doors
- Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
- Work coordinated with your builder

Questions from Ashford (Surrey)
Do you work in Ashford (Surrey)?
Yes, we take on loft conversion fire doors in Ashford (Surrey) and the surrounding area, including Staines and Feltham. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Ashford (Surrey) 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.
Can I just add intumescent strips to my existing doors?
Generally no. A standard internal door is not a fire door, and strips alone will not make it one. Existing doors need to be replaced with certified fire doors.
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.
