Communal fire doors in Farnborough

Communal fire doors for Farnborough buildings

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

Around Farnborough, houses with integral garages, schools and family homes after loft conversions all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

We phase communal door replacements in Farnborough so every escape route stays protected throughout the programme. The evidence pack for each communal door in Farnborough 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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Certified single, double or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
• Evidence pack suitable for regulation 10 records
• Survey of every communal opening and its use
• Phased programme keeping escape routes protected

What the rules say for Farnborough

England's framework applies in Farnborough. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.

For blocks over 11 metres in Farnborough, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
