Commercial fire doors in Cirencester, done to the evidence
Our commercial fire doors service covers Cirencester and the wider Gloucestershire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Around Cirencester, light industrial buildings, care homes and small offices 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 Cirencester can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Each commercial door we fit in Cirencester 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:
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
The regulations behind fire doors in Cirencester
In Cirencester, 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 Cirencester 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.

The responsible person under the fire safety law for that nation, usually the employer, owner or occupier. Leases often share duties between landlord and tenant.
