What commercial fire doors in Gravesend should include
Our commercial fire doors service in Gravesend is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Gravesend protect escape routes in schools, low-rise blocks of flats and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Each commercial door we fit in Gravesend gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away. Offices, shops and hotels in Gravesend 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.
Each installation includes:
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
Fire door law for Gravesend properties
In Gravesend, 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 Gravesend 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.
Buildings and duty holders in Gravesend
From gyms and leisure sites to shops, the requirement for commercial fire doors in Gravesend comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions
Is Gravesend within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Gravesend in Kent and neighbouring towns such as Grays. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Gravesend building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Can veneered fire doors match our interior?
Many certified doorsets come in a wide range of veneers and laminates, so matching an interior scheme is usually possible.
Can fire doors have access control?
Yes, if the electric locks, readers and cabling are covered by the door's certification and the locking releases safely for escape. We coordinate with your security contractor.
