What commercial fire doors in Hailsham should include
We provide commercial fire doors in Hailsham (BN27 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Buildings in and around Hailsham range from small blocks of flats to small offices 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.
For commercial buildings in Hailsham, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive. Each commercial door we fit in Hailsham 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
The regulations behind fire doors in Hailsham
In Hailsham, 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 Hailsham 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.
