Communal fire doors in County Armagh, done to the evidence
Our communal fire doors service covers all of County Armagh, across postcode districts including BT60, BT67 and BT64.
Communal corridors and stairs in County Armagh buildings take the heaviest use, so we choose finishes and hardware that keep working between checks. We phase communal door replacements in County Armagh so every escape route stays protected throughout the programme.
Fire door work in County Armagh 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.
Pairs, vision panels and robust finishes
We fit single, double and leaf-and-a-half communal doors, with vision panels in tested glazing systems and finishes chosen to stand up to use, such as laminates and kick plates covered by the certification. For pairs, the meeting edges, rebates and any door coordinator must match the evidence; see our double fire doors page.

Common questions
Do you provide communal fire doors across County Armagh?
Yes. We cover all of County Armagh, including Craigavon and Portadown. Surveys and written quotes are free.
How often should communal fire doors be checked?
In England, every three months for residential buildings above 11 metres under regulation 10. Your fire risk assessment may set other frequencies for other buildings and nations.
Do communal doors need vision panels?
Not always, but they are common on cross-corridor and lobby doors so people can see who is coming the other way. Any glazing has to be fire-rated and fitted in a tested system.
