Loft conversion fire doors: our service in Wiltshire
Whether your building is in Swindon, Salisbury or a smaller place in Wiltshire, we can provide loft conversion fire doors with the same evidence-led approach.
A loft conversion in Wiltshire that adds a new storey often brings a building control requirement for fire doors on rooms off the stair. For homes in Wiltshire, we match fire doors to your existing style wherever certified options allow.
Wherever your building is in Wiltshire, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
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.
Rules and responsibilities in Wiltshire
In Wiltshire, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Wiltshire building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
