We phase communal door replacements in West Yorkshire so every escape route stays protected throughout the programme. The evidence pack for each communal door in West Yorkshire is set out to support whatever checking regime your fire risk assessment sets.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in West Yorkshire can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.
Rules and responsibilities in West Yorkshire
In West Yorkshire, 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 West Yorkshire 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.

Questions
Do you provide communal fire doors across West Yorkshire?
Yes. We cover all of West Yorkshire, including Leeds and Bradford. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Do communal doors need vision panels?
Not always, but they are common on cross-corridor and lobby doors so people can see who is coming the other way. Any glazing has to be fire-rated and fitted in a tested system.
Will the stairs be out of use while you work?
No. We phase the work so that each route stays protected and usable, replacing doors one section at a time and never leaving an opening without a door at the end of the day.
