Loft conversion fire doors for Felling buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Felling, we offer loft conversion fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Felling protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, family homes after loft conversions 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 Felling that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair. For homes in Felling, 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.
What you get:
- Work coordinated with your builder
- Check of which openings need fire doors
- Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
Fire door law for Felling properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Felling are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Felling block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
Where loft conversion fire doors fit in Felling
The need for loft conversion fire doors usually arises in semi-detached houses or bungalows gaining an upper floor, and sometimes terraced houses. In Felling we can work for you directly or alongside your builder, and single doors are as welcome as whole-house jobs.

Questions from Felling
Do you cover NE10 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Felling including NE10, and nearby towns such as Gateshead and Newcastle upon Tyne. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Felling?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.

Usually the doors from habitable rooms onto the stair do, on every floor. Bathrooms are often excluded. Building control decides for your house.
