Commercial fire doors: our service in Hertfordshire
Our commercial fire doors service runs throughout Hertfordshire. Main towns include Watford, Hemel Hempstead and Stevenage, and we cover the smaller places in between.
For commercial buildings in Hertfordshire, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive. Offices, shops and hotels in Hertfordshire can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted.
Hertfordshire has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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.
What the rules say for Hertfordshire
The rules that apply to fire doors in Hertfordshire 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 Hertfordshire 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.
The steps on a Hertfordshire installation
- Survey doors and agree priorities with the duty holder
- Specify doorsets, finishes and hardware
- Coordinate with security and alarm contractors
- Install in phases around operations
- Commission closers, locks and hold-opens
- Hand over the evidence pack
