Communal fire doors in Basingstoke

Communal fire doors: our service in Basingstoke

Looking for communal fire doors in Basingstoke? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Basingstoke and the wider Hampshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Basingstoke has a broad mix of buildings, including care homes, converted period houses and industrial units, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

Communal corridors and stairs in Basingstoke buildings take the heaviest use, so we choose finishes and hardware that keep working between checks. We phase communal door replacements in Basingstoke so every escape route stays protected throughout the programme.

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.

On a typical job that means:

• Evidence pack suitable for regulation 10 records
• Phased programme keeping escape routes protected
• Closers, coordinators and hold-opens as required
• Tested vision panels and durable finishes
