Getting loft conversion fire doors right in Royal Leamington Spa
If you need loft conversion fire doors in Royal Leamington Spa, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Royal Leamington Spa range from houses with integral garages to family homes after loft conversions and care homes. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We can fit loft conversion fire doors in Royal Leamington Spa as your builder's subcontractor or directly for you. For homes in Royal Leamington Spa, we match fire doors to your existing style wherever certified options allow.
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.
What you get:
- Frame repairs or new linings where needed
- Work coordinated with your builder
- Check of which openings need fire doors
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style

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