Getting commercial fire doors right in Somerset
Whether your building is in Bath, Weston-super-Mare or a smaller place in Somerset, we can provide commercial fire doors with the same evidence-led approach.
Offices, shops and hotels in Somerset can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. For commercial buildings in Somerset, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive.
Somerset has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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.
Which fire door rules apply in Somerset?
In Somerset, 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 Somerset 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.
