Commercial fire doors: our service in Burnham-on-Sea
Our commercial fire doors service covers Burnham-on-Sea and the wider Somerset area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Burnham-on-Sea, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Offices, shops and hotels in Burnham-on-Sea can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. For commercial buildings in Burnham-on-Sea, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm

Questions from Burnham-on-Sea
Is Burnham-on-Sea within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Burnham-on-Sea in Somerset and neighbouring towns such as Weston-super-Mare. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Can fire doors have access control?
Yes, if the electric locks, readers and cabling are covered by the door's certification and the locking releases safely for escape. We coordinate with your security contractor.
Who is responsible for fire doors in a commercial building?
The responsible person under the fire safety law for that nation, usually the employer, owner or occupier. Leases often share duties between landlord and tenant.
