Commercial fire doors in Staffordshire, done to the evidence
For commercial fire doors anywhere in Staffordshire, one team handles the survey, supply, installation and handover, covering Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Burton upon Trent and the rest of the county.
Each commercial door we fit in Staffordshire gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away. For commercial buildings in Staffordshire, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Staffordshire can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.
Which fire door rules apply in Staffordshire?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Staffordshire 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 Staffordshire 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.
