Around Bartley Green, family homes after loft conversions, schools and care homes all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

We phase communal door replacements in Bartley Green so every escape route stays protected throughout the programme. The evidence pack for each communal door in Bartley Green 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:

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

The regulations behind fire doors in Bartley Green
