Getting loft conversion fire doors right in Evesham
We provide loft conversion fire doors in Evesham (WR11 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Buildings in and around Evesham range from light industrial buildings to houses with integral garages and schools. 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 Evesham 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 Evesham as your builder's subcontractor or directly for you.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Check of which openings need fire doors
- Frame repairs or new linings where needed
- Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
- Product details for building control
Fire door law for Evesham properties
England's framework applies in Evesham. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Evesham, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
