Commercial fire doors in Wiltshire: what's involved
Our commercial fire doors service runs throughout Wiltshire. Main towns include Swindon, Salisbury and Trowbridge, and we cover the smaller places in between.
For commercial buildings in Wiltshire, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive. Offices, shops and hotels in Wiltshire can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted.
Fire door work in Wiltshire spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
Access control and hold-opens
Modern offices and hotels often combine fire doors with access control, electric locks and hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm. Electric locking on an escape route has to release safely, and any holes, cables and devices in the door must be covered by the evidence. We coordinate with your security and fire alarm contractors on the interfaces.
Rules and responsibilities in Wiltshire
In Wiltshire, 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 Wiltshire 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.
