What communal fire doors in Newtownards should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Newtownards, we offer communal fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Newtownards range from small blocks of flats to family homes after loft conversions and light industrial buildings. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Communal corridors and stairs in Newtownards buildings take the heaviest use, so we choose finishes and hardware that keep working between checks. The evidence pack for each communal door in Newtownards is set out to support whatever checking regime your fire risk assessment sets.
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.
What you get:
- Tested vision panels and durable finishes
- Survey of every communal opening and its use
- Closers, coordinators and hold-opens as required
- Evidence pack suitable for regulation 10 records

Questions
Do you work in Newtownards?
Yes, we take on communal fire doors in Newtownards and the surrounding area, including Bangor and Castlereagh. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
How quickly can you survey in Newtownards?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Can communal fire doors be held open?
Only with a proper hold-open device that releases the door when the fire alarm operates. Wedges and hooks are not acceptable. Electromagnetic holders or free-swing closers are the usual solutions.
Will the stairs be out of use while you work?
No. We phase the work so that each route stays protected and usable, replacing doors one section at a time and never leaving an opening without a door at the end of the day.
