Communal fire doors in Horley, RH6

What communal fire doors in Horley should include

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

Buildings in and around Horley range from schools to light industrial buildings and care homes. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

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

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.

On a typical job that means:

• Phased programme keeping escape routes protected
• Certified single, double or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
• Closers, coordinators and hold-opens as required
• Evidence pack suitable for regulation 10 records
