Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Northamptonshire can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.
What the rules say for Northamptonshire
England's framework applies in Northamptonshire. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Northamptonshire, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
