Loft conversion fire doors in Warwick

Loft conversion fire doors in Warwick: what's involved

From the CV34 postcode district outwards, we take on loft conversion fire doors across Warwick for homes, blocks and workplaces.

Around Warwick, small offices, small blocks of flats and houses with integral garages all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

For homes in Warwick, we match fire doors to your existing style wherever certified options allow. A loft conversion in Warwick 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.

As standard, the work covers:

• FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
• Work coordinated with your builder
• Check of which openings need fire doors
• Frame repairs or new linings where needed

Rules and responsibilities in Warwick

England's framework applies in Warwick. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.

For blocks over 11 metres in Warwick, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
