What commercial fire doors in Liverpool should include
Our commercial fire doors service covers Liverpool and the wider Merseyside area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Around Liverpool, converted flats, clinics and shared houses all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Offices, shops and hotels in Liverpool can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Each commercial door we fit in Liverpool gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away.
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.
What you get:
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Glazed and solid options to certification
Fire door law for Liverpool properties
Fire doors in Liverpool fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Liverpool above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
