Communal fire doors: our service in Hazel Grove
Our communal fire doors service covers Hazel Grove and the wider Greater Manchester area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Hazel Grove protect escape routes in care homes, small offices and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We phase communal door replacements in Hazel Grove so every escape route stays protected throughout the programme. The evidence pack for each communal door in Hazel Grove is set out to support whatever checking regime your fire risk assessment sets.
How do you work in an occupied building?
Escape routes have to stay usable. We phase communal door work so that no stair or corridor is left without protection overnight, keep a doorset ready to fit before removing the old one, and agree working hours with the building manager. Where a hold-open device is needed, we coordinate with your fire alarm contractor for the release interface.
Each installation includes:
- Tested vision panels and durable finishes
- Closers, coordinators and hold-opens as required
- Certified single, double or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Phased programme keeping escape routes protected
Fire door law for Hazel Grove properties
In Hazel Grove, 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 Hazel Grove 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.

Questions
Do you work in Hazel Grove?
Yes, we take on communal fire doors in Hazel Grove and the surrounding area, including Stockport and Cheadle Hulme. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
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.
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.
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.
