What commercial fire doors in Frome should include
Our commercial fire doors service in Frome is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Around Frome, light industrial buildings, care homes and small blocks of flats 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.
Offices, shops and hotels in Frome can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. For commercial buildings in Frome, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
Fire door law for Frome properties
In Frome, 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 Frome 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.

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.
