Communal fire door installation in Evesham

What communal fire doors in Evesham should include

Buildings in and around Evesham range from light industrial buildings to schools 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.

Communal corridors and stairs in Evesham buildings take the heaviest use, so we choose finishes and hardware that keep working between checks. We phase communal door replacements in Evesham so every escape route stays protected throughout the programme.

What makes communal doors different?

Communal doors take far more traffic than flat entrance doors. They are pushed with trolleys, propped open and slammed. Many are pairs, glazed, or fitted with hold-open devices. That combination is why communal doors so often fail inspections for gaps, worn seals, damaged closers and doors that no longer latch.

In England, communal fire doors in residential buildings above 11 metres must be checked at least every three months under regulation 10. A sound installation makes passing those checks routine.

As standard, the work covers:

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

Fire door law for Evesham properties

Fire doors in Evesham fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
