Commercial fire doors: our service in Rawtenstall
Our commercial fire doors service covers Rawtenstall and the wider Lancashire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Buildings in and around Rawtenstall range from houses with integral garages to care homes and light industrial buildings. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
For commercial buildings in Rawtenstall, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive. Each commercial door we fit in Rawtenstall gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
Fire door law for Rawtenstall properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Rawtenstall 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 Rawtenstall 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.
