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.

On a typical job that means:

• Product details for building control
• Work coordinated with your builder
• Frame repairs or new linings where needed
• Check of which openings need fire doors
