Commercial fire doors: our service in Slough
If you need commercial fire doors in Slough, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Slough range from offices to care homes and GP surgeries. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
For commercial buildings in Slough, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive. Each commercial door we fit in Slough 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Glazed and solid options to certification
What the rules say for Slough
England's framework applies in Slough. 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 Slough, 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.

Questions from Slough
Do you work in Slough?

Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.

Yes. We regularly plan work for evenings, weekends or quiet periods so that offices, shops and hotels can keep running.

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.
