Commercial fire doors: our service in Altrincham
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Altrincham, we offer commercial fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Around Altrincham, care homes, houses with integral garages and schools 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.
Each commercial door we fit in Altrincham gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away. Offices, shops and hotels in Altrincham can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted.
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:
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
Fire door law for Altrincham properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Altrincham 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 Altrincham 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.
