Communal fire door installation in Halesowen

Getting communal fire doors right in Halesowen

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

Buildings in and around Halesowen range from low-rise blocks of flats to family homes after loft conversions and houses with integral garages. 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 Halesowen buildings take the heaviest use, so we choose finishes and hardware that keep working between checks. We phase communal door replacements in Halesowen so every escape route stays protected throughout the programme.

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:

• Certified single, double or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
• Evidence pack suitable for regulation 10 records
• Phased programme keeping escape routes protected
• Tested vision panels and durable finishes
