Commercial fire doors in Newmarket: what's involved
From the CB8 postcode district outwards, we take on commercial fire doors across Newmarket for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Newmarket protect escape routes in schools, small blocks of flats and small offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For commercial buildings in Newmarket, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive. Each commercial door we fit in Newmarket gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away.
Doors that look the part and still perform
Commercial interiors often need veneered, laminated or painted finishes, glazing, push plates, kick plates and signage. All of this is possible on a fire door, provided every element is covered by the doorset's certification. We specify the finish and hardware at the outset so nothing has to be improvised on site.
On a typical job that means:
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
What the rules say for Newmarket
The rules that apply to fire doors in Newmarket 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 Newmarket 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.
