Commercial fire doors: our service in Banbury
We provide commercial fire doors in Banbury (OX16 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Banbury has a broad mix of buildings, including care homes, small offices and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Each commercial door we fit in Banbury gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away. Offices, shops and hotels in Banbury 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
The regulations behind fire doors in Banbury
In Banbury, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Banbury building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
