Loft conversion fire doors for Egham buildings
From the TW20 postcode district outwards, we take on loft conversion fire doors across Egham for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Egham has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, small blocks of flats and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
A loft conversion in Egham 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 Egham 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.
What you get:
- Check of which openings need fire doors
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
- Work coordinated with your builder
- Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required

Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Common questions
Is Egham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Egham in Surrey and neighbouring towns such as Staines. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Egham 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 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.
