Commercial fire doors: our service in Chichester
Our commercial fire doors service covers Chichester and the wider West Sussex area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Buildings in and around Chichester range from light industrial buildings to care homes and small blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Offices, shops and hotels in Chichester can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. For commercial buildings in Chichester, 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.
What you get:
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
Which fire door rules apply in Chichester?
Fire doors in Chichester 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.
For residential buildings in Chichester above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. 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 from Chichester
Do you cover PO19 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Chichester including PO19, and nearby towns such as Bognor Regis and Havant. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Chichester 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.
Who is responsible for fire doors in a commercial building?
The responsible person under the fire safety law for that nation, usually the employer, owner or occupier. Leases often share duties between landlord and tenant.
