Getting commercial fire doors right in Leicester
We provide commercial fire doors in Leicester (LE1 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Leicester protect escape routes in restaurants, clinics and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Each commercial door we fit in Leicester gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away. Offices, shops and hotels in Leicester can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted.
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.
What you get:
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Out-of-hours and phased working
The regulations behind fire doors in Leicester
The rules that apply to fire doors in Leicester 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 Leicester 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 from Leicester
Do you cover LE1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Leicester including LE1, and nearby towns such as Oadby and Wigston. 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 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.
Who is responsible for fire doors in a commercial building?
The responsible person under the fire safety law for that nation, usually the employer, owner or occupier. Leases often share duties between landlord and tenant.
