Communal fire door installation in Tamworth

Communal fire doors in Tamworth, done to the evidence

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

Buildings in and around Tamworth range from family homes after loft conversions to high-street shops and low-rise blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

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

On a typical job that means:

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

The regulations behind fire doors in Tamworth

The rules that apply to fire doors in Tamworth are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.

Where a Tamworth block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
