Commercial fire doors in Brentwood, done to the evidence
Our commercial fire doors service in Brentwood is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
In and around Brentwood, fire door work covers everything from schools to low-rise blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For commercial buildings in Brentwood, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive. Each commercial door we fit in Brentwood gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
The regulations behind fire doors in Brentwood
The rules that apply to fire doors in Brentwood 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 Brentwood 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.

Common questions
Do you work in Brentwood?
Yes, we take on commercial fire doors in Brentwood and the surrounding area, including Billericay and Hornchurch. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
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.
Can you install fire doors outside business hours?
Yes. We regularly plan work for evenings, weekends or quiet periods so that offices, shops and hotels can keep running.
