Commercial fire doors in Shrewsbury, done to the evidence
Looking for commercial fire doors in Shrewsbury? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Shrewsbury and the wider Shropshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Around Shrewsbury, low-rise blocks of flats, industrial estates and care homes 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.
Each commercial door we fit in Shrewsbury gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away. Offices, shops and hotels in Shrewsbury can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted.
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:
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
Rules and responsibilities in Shrewsbury
In Shrewsbury, 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 Shrewsbury 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.
