Commercial fire doors in Poole: what's involved
From the BH15 postcode district outwards, we take on commercial fire doors across Poole for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Around Poole, offices, HMOs and industrial units all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Offices, shops and hotels in Poole can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. For commercial buildings in Poole, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
The regulations behind fire doors in Poole
The rules that apply to fire doors in Poole 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 Poole 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.
