Loft conversion fire doors in Godalming

What loft conversion fire doors in Godalming should include

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Godalming, we offer loft conversion fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Fire doors in Godalming protect escape routes in schools, light industrial buildings and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

For homes in Godalming, we match fire doors to your existing style wherever certified options allow. A loft conversion in Godalming that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair.

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.

Each installation includes:

• FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
• Frame repairs or new linings where needed
• Work coordinated with your builder
• Product details for building control
