Commercial fire doors: our service in Littlehampton
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Littlehampton, we offer commercial fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Littlehampton, fire door work covers everything from industrial estates to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For commercial buildings in Littlehampton, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive. Each commercial door we fit in Littlehampton 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:
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
What the rules say for Littlehampton
The rules that apply to fire doors in Littlehampton 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 Littlehampton 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.
Who needs commercial fire doors in Littlehampton?
From hotels to restaurants, the requirement for commercial fire doors in Littlehampton comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions
Do you cover BN17 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Littlehampton including BN17, and nearby towns such as Bognor Regis and Worthing. The survey and written quote are free.
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.
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.
