Commercial fire doors in Basingstoke, done to the evidence
Our commercial fire doors service in Basingstoke is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Basingstoke protect escape routes in care homes, converted period houses and HMOs alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Each commercial door we fit in Basingstoke gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away. Offices, shops and hotels in Basingstoke 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:
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Out-of-hours and phased working
Which fire door rules apply in Basingstoke?
England's framework applies in Basingstoke. 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 Basingstoke, 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.
