Commercial fire doors for Faversham buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Faversham, we offer commercial fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Faversham has a broad mix of buildings, including houses with integral garages, schools and light industrial buildings, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Offices, shops and hotels in Faversham can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. For commercial buildings in Faversham, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
Fire door law for Faversham properties
In Faversham, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Faversham building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

In Faversham, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.
