Commercial fire doors for Sandhurst buildings
If you need commercial fire doors in Sandhurst, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Sandhurst has a broad mix of buildings, including houses with integral garages, light industrial buildings and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
For commercial buildings in Sandhurst, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive. Each commercial door we fit in Sandhurst gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away.
Access control and hold-opens
Modern offices and hotels often combine fire doors with access control, electric locks and hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm. Electric locking on an escape route has to release safely, and any holes, cables and devices in the door must be covered by the evidence. We coordinate with your security and fire alarm contractors on the interfaces.
Each installation includes:
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Glazed and solid options to certification
Rules and responsibilities in Sandhurst
The rules that apply to fire doors in Sandhurst are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Sandhurst block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Common questions
Is Sandhurst within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Sandhurst in Berkshire and neighbouring towns such as Crowthorne. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Sandhurst 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 you install fire doors outside business hours?
Yes. We regularly plan work for evenings, weekends or quiet periods so that offices, shops and hotels can keep running.
Who is responsible for fire doors in a commercial building?
The responsible person under the fire safety law for that nation, usually the employer, owner or occupier. Leases often share duties between landlord and tenant.
