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

Questions
Do you work in Leeds?
Yes, we take on loft conversion fire doors in Leeds and the surrounding area, including Morley and Pudsey. 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 Leeds 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.
Can you match my existing doors?
Certified fire doors come in many styles, including panelled and cottage designs, so a close match is usually possible.
