Getting commercial fire doors right in Lichfield
Our commercial fire doors service in Lichfield is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Lichfield protect escape routes in schools, light industrial buildings and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Offices, shops and hotels in Lichfield can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. For commercial buildings in Lichfield, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive.
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:
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Glazed and solid options to certification
Fire door law for Lichfield properties
Fire doors in Lichfield fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Questions
Do you cover WS13 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Lichfield including WS13, and nearby towns such as Burntwood and Tamworth. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Lichfield building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
Can veneered fire doors match our interior?
Many certified doorsets come in a wide range of veneers and laminates, so matching an interior scheme is usually possible.
