Getting commercial fire doors right in Burntwood
Our commercial fire doors service in Burntwood is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Burntwood has a broad mix of buildings, including light industrial buildings, family homes after loft conversions and small blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
For commercial buildings in Burntwood, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive. Each commercial door we fit in Burntwood gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away.
Working in live premises
We plan commercial installations around trading hours, out-of-hours slots and phased handovers, keeping escape routes protected throughout. You get a clear record per door that your fire risk assessor can use.
On a typical job that means:
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Out-of-hours and phased working
What the rules say for Burntwood
The rules that apply to fire doors in Burntwood 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 Burntwood 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.
