Loft conversion fire doors in Bartley Green: what's involved
Our loft conversion fire doors service in Bartley Green is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Bartley Green has a broad mix of buildings, including small offices, family homes after loft conversions and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
A loft conversion in Bartley Green that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair. We can fit loft conversion fire doors in Bartley Green as your builder's subcontractor or directly for you.
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:
- Product details for building control
- Check of which openings need fire doors
- FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
- Frame repairs or new linings where needed

Common questions
Do you work in Bartley Green?
Yes, we take on loft conversion fire doors in Bartley Green and the surrounding area, including Halesowen and Smethwick. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Bartley Green building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Can I just add intumescent strips to my existing doors?
Generally no. A standard internal door is not a fire door, and strips alone will not make it one. Existing doors need to be replaced with certified fire doors.
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.
