Communal fire doors in Newark-on-Trent

Communal fire doors in Newark-on-Trent, done to the evidence

If you need communal fire doors in Newark-on-Trent, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

Fire doors in Newark-on-Trent protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, schools and small offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

We phase communal door replacements in Newark-on-Trent so every escape route stays protected throughout the programme. The evidence pack for each communal door in Newark-on-Trent is set out to support whatever checking regime your fire risk assessment sets.

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.

What you get:

• Tested vision panels and durable finishes
• Closers, coordinators and hold-opens as required
• Survey of every communal opening and its use
• Evidence pack suitable for regulation 10 records

Rules and responsibilities in Newark-on-Trent

England's framework applies in Newark-on-Trent. 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 Newark-on-Trent, 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.
