Loft conversion fire doors in Brierley Hill

Loft conversion fire doors in Brierley Hill: what's involved

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Brierley Hill, we offer loft conversion fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Buildings in and around Brierley Hill range from family homes after loft conversions to small offices and small blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

A loft conversion in Brierley Hill 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 Brierley Hill as your builder's subcontractor or directly for you.

Why loft conversions trigger fire doors

A two-storey house usually lets people escape from upstairs windows. Once a loft room is added, the top floor is too high for that, so the stair becomes the escape route and has to be protected from the ground floor up. That is why building control often asks for fire doors on rooms off the stair, including existing ground and first-floor rooms, not just the new loft room.

As standard, the work covers:

• Check of which openings need fire doors
• Work coordinated with your builder
• Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
• FD20 or FD30 doors in your chosen style
