Commercial fire doors in Hastings, done to the evidence
When you book commercial fire doors in Hastings, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Hastings protect escape routes in HMOs, high-street shops and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Each commercial door we fit in Hastings gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away. Offices, shops and hotels in Hastings can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted.
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:
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Out-of-hours and phased working
Which fire door rules apply in Hastings?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Hastings 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 Hastings 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.
Who needs commercial fire doors in Hastings?
