Getting commercial fire doors right in Deeside
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Deeside, we offer commercial fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Deeside range from care homes to schools and light industrial buildings. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Offices, shops and hotels in Deeside can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. For commercial buildings in Deeside, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive.
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:
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
Rules and responsibilities in Deeside
Because Deeside is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Deeside comes from your fire risk assessment.

Questions
Do you cover CH5 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Deeside including CH5, and nearby towns such as Hawarden and Buckley. The survey and written quote are free.
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.
Can fire doors have access control?
Yes, if the electric locks, readers and cabling are covered by the door's certification and the locking releases safely for escape. We coordinate with your security contractor.
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.
