Getting commercial fire doors right in Bicester
Our commercial fire doors service covers Bicester and the wider Oxfordshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Bicester, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Offices, shops and hotels in Bicester can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Each commercial door we fit in Bicester 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:
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
The regulations behind fire doors in Bicester
England's framework applies in Bicester. 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 Bicester, 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.
