Commercial fire doors in Sevenoaks, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Sevenoaks, we offer commercial fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Sevenoaks, fire door work covers everything from care homes to small blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Offices, shops and hotels in Sevenoaks can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. For commercial buildings in Sevenoaks, 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
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
Rules and responsibilities in Sevenoaks
The rules that apply to fire doors in Sevenoaks 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 Sevenoaks 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.

Questions
Do you cover TN13 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Sevenoaks including TN13, and nearby towns such as Tonbridge and Swanley. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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 you install fire doors outside business hours?
Yes. We regularly plan work for evenings, weekends or quiet periods so that offices, shops and hotels can keep running.
