We provide commercial fire doors across Bristol, covering 14 postcode districts from BS1 to BS99.
Offices, shops and hotels in Bristol can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. For commercial buildings in Bristol, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Bristol can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.
The regulations behind fire doors in Bristol
In Bristol, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Bristol building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
