Loft conversion fire doors in Kingswinford

Loft conversion fire doors: our service in Kingswinford

When you book loft conversion fire doors in Kingswinford, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.

Buildings in and around Kingswinford range from schools to family homes after loft conversions and houses with integral garages. 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 Kingswinford that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair. For homes in Kingswinford, 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.

On a typical job that means:

• Frame repairs or new linings where needed
• Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
• Work coordinated with your builder
• Product details for building control
