Commercial fire doors in Crawley: what's involved
Our commercial fire doors service covers Crawley 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.
Fire doors in Crawley protect escape routes in offices, care homes and purpose-built flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Offices, shops and hotels in Crawley can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Each commercial door we fit in Crawley 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
Which fire door rules apply in Crawley?
In Crawley, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Crawley building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
Who needs commercial fire doors in Crawley?
Typical settings for commercial fire doors include gyms and leisure sites, offices and restaurants. In Crawley, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

- Survey doors and agree priorities with the duty holder
- Specify doorsets, finishes and hardware
- Coordinate with security and alarm contractors
- Install in phases around operations

Questions from Crawley
Is Crawley within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Crawley in West Sussex and neighbouring towns such as Horley. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
