Getting commercial fire doors right in Gloucester
Our commercial fire doors service in Gloucester is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Buildings in and around Gloucester range from offices to schools and HMOs. 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 Gloucester, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive. Each commercial door we fit in Gloucester 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.
What you get:
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
Fire door law for Gloucester properties
England's framework applies in Gloucester. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Gloucester, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Common questions
Is Gloucester within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Gloucester in Gloucestershire and neighbouring towns such as Cheltenham. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Gloucester building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Can veneered fire doors match our interior?
Many certified doorsets come in a wide range of veneers and laminates, so matching an interior scheme is usually possible.
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.
