Communal fire doors across Nottinghamshire

What communal fire doors in Nottinghamshire should include

Across Nottinghamshire, from Nottingham to Mansfield, we survey, supply and fit communal fire doors for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.

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

Fire door work in Nottinghamshire spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.

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.

What the rules say for Nottinghamshire

England's framework applies in Nottinghamshire. 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 Nottinghamshire, 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.
