What commercial fire doors in Cornwall should include
Whether your building is in Redruth, Falmouth or a smaller place in Cornwall, we can provide commercial fire doors with the same evidence-led approach.
For commercial buildings in Cornwall, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive. Each commercial door we fit in Cornwall gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away.
Fire door work in Cornwall spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
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.
Rules and responsibilities in Cornwall
The rules that apply to fire doors in Cornwall 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 Cornwall 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.
