Commercial fire doors: our service in Andover
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Andover, we offer commercial fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Andover range from care homes to family homes after loft conversions and small offices. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Each commercial door we fit in Andover gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away. Offices, shops and hotels in Andover can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted.
Working in live premises
We plan commercial installations around trading hours, out-of-hours slots and phased handovers, keeping escape routes protected throughout. You get a clear record per door that your fire risk assessor can use.
As standard, the work covers:
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
Which fire door rules apply in Andover?
England's framework applies in Andover. 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 Andover, 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.
