Communal fire door installation in Fleet

Communal fire doors: our service in Fleet

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

Fleet has a broad mix of buildings, including family homes after loft conversions, small offices and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

Communal corridors and stairs in Fleet buildings take the heaviest use, so we choose finishes and hardware that keep working between checks. The evidence pack for each communal door in Fleet is set out to support whatever checking regime your fire risk assessment sets.

What makes communal doors different?

Communal doors take far more traffic than flat entrance doors. They are pushed with trolleys, propped open and slammed. Many are pairs, glazed, or fitted with hold-open devices. That combination is why communal doors so often fail inspections for gaps, worn seals, damaged closers and doors that no longer latch.

In England, communal fire doors in residential buildings above 11 metres must be checked at least every three months under regulation 10. A sound installation makes passing those checks routine.

As standard, the work covers:

• Survey of every communal opening and its use
• Tested vision panels and durable finishes
• Certified single, double or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
• Evidence pack suitable for regulation 10 records

Which fire door rules apply in Fleet?

In Fleet, 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 Fleet 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.
