Communal fire doors in Blackpool

What communal fire doors in Blackpool should include

Our communal fire doors service covers Blackpool and the wider Lancashire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

Fire doors in Blackpool protect escape routes in GP surgeries, converted period houses and offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

Communal corridors and stairs in Blackpool buildings take the heaviest use, so we choose finishes and hardware that keep working between checks. We phase communal door replacements in Blackpool 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.

As standard, the work covers:

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

What the rules say for Blackpool

England's framework applies in Blackpool. 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 Blackpool, 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.
