What loft conversion fire doors in Reigate should include
We provide loft conversion fire doors in Reigate (RH2 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Reigate protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, care homes and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
A loft conversion in Reigate that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair. For homes in Reigate, we match fire doors to your existing style wherever certified options allow.
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
- Product details for building control
- Check of which openings need fire doors
- Work coordinated with your builder
Fire door law for Reigate properties
In Reigate, 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 Reigate 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.
Buildings and duty holders in Reigate
Typical settings for loft conversion fire doors include semi-detached houses, detached family homes and terraced houses. In Reigate, as elsewhere, the work is usually commissioned by homeowners, often alongside a builder or after a building control visit, so we fit around the household and leave the product details building control asks for.

Questions from Reigate
Is Reigate within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Reigate in Surrey and neighbouring towns such as Redhill. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
