Commercial fire doors: our service in Portishead
Our commercial fire doors service covers Portishead 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.
Fire doors in Portishead protect escape routes in family homes after loft conversions, schools and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Offices, shops and hotels in Portishead can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Each commercial door we fit in Portishead gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away.

The regulations behind fire doors in Portishead
The rules that apply to fire doors in Portishead are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Portishead block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

The need for commercial fire doors usually arises in gyms and leisure sites or hotels, and sometimes shops. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Portishead to keep escape routes protected throughout.
