Commercial fire doors for Kent buildings
Whether your building is in Maidstone, Gillingham or a smaller place in Kent, we can provide commercial fire doors with the same evidence-led approach.
For commercial buildings in Kent, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive. Offices, shops and hotels in Kent can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Kent can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
Doors that look the part and still perform
Commercial interiors often need veneered, laminated or painted finishes, glazing, push plates, kick plates and signage. All of this is possible on a fire door, provided every element is covered by the doorset's certification. We specify the finish and hardware at the outset so nothing has to be improvised on site.
Which fire door rules apply in Kent?
Fire doors in Kent fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Kent above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
