Communal fire doors in Burntwood

Communal fire doors: our service in Burntwood

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Burntwood, we offer communal fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

In and around Burntwood, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

Communal corridors and stairs in Burntwood buildings take the heaviest use, so we choose finishes and hardware that keep working between checks. The evidence pack for each communal door in Burntwood 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.

As standard, the work covers:

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

Fire door law for Burntwood properties

In Burntwood, 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 Burntwood 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.

Who needs communal fire doors in Burntwood?

From blocks of flats to sheltered and supported housing, the requirement for communal fire doors in Burntwood comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.
