Where are fire doors needed?
Building Regulations set out where fire doors are required. Typical examples in homes include:
Loft conversions
When a loft conversion creates a third storey, doors to habitable rooms off the staircase usually need to be fire doors.
Integral garages
The door between a house and an attached or integral garage should be a self-closing fire door.
Flats and maisonettes
Front doors opening onto a shared hallway or stairwell need to be fire-rated and self-closing.
Rental homes and HMOs
Landlords often need fire doors to meet fire safety requirements for shared and multi-occupancy homes.
Three-storey homes
Taller houses usually need a protected escape route, with fire doors to the rooms off the stairs.
Extensions and renovations
New layouts can change what is required. We help you check with Building Control before work begins.
Not sure what you need? Every project is different. During our free survey we look at your home and plans, and help you confirm the requirements with Building Control.
What makes a fire door work
A fire door is only as good as its fitting. Every part has to work together, so we install each door with the components it was tested with.

FD30 or FD60?
Most homes
FD30
Holds back fire for at least 30 minutes. The usual choice for houses, loft conversions, garages and flat entrance doors. An “S” (FD30S) means the door also has smoke seals.
Higher protection
FD60
Holds back fire for at least 60 minutes. Used where a higher level of protection is specified, for example in some larger or mixed-use buildings.
Fire door styles we install
Fire doorsets come in a wide range of styles, glazing options and colours, with gold or chrome hardware. Photos of our own fire door installations are coming soon.
Fire doors: frequently asked questions
What is the difference between FD30 and FD60?
FD30 doors hold back fire for at least 30 minutes and FD60 doors for at least 60 minutes. FD30 is the usual requirement in homes. An S after the rating, such as FD30S, means the door also has smoke seals.
Do I need fire doors in my loft conversion?
Usually, yes. When a loft conversion adds a third storey, Building Regulations normally require a protected escape route, which includes fire doors to the habitable rooms off the stairs. We help you confirm this with Building Control.
Can a fire door have glass?
Yes. Fire doors can be glazed with fire-rated glass and glazing systems, so you can keep light flowing through your home.
Can you fit a fire door into my existing frame?
A fire door works best as a complete set with a matching fire-rated frame. After our survey we will recommend whether your existing frame is suitable or a new frame is needed.
Do fire doors need a self-closer?
Many do, including doors between a house and an integral garage and flat entrance doors. A fire door only protects you when it is closed, so a closer makes sure it shuts every time.
Can fire doors match my other doors?
Yes. Fire doors come in many styles, from plain and panelled to glazed, and can be painted or finished to match the rest of your home.
