Double fire doors: our service in Sandhurst
Looking for double fire doors in Sandhurst? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Sandhurst and the wider Berkshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in Sandhurst protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, schools and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Every pair we fit in Sandhurst is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Sandhurst care homes and schools that need occasional wide access.
Leaf-and-a-half for wider routes
Leaf-and-a-half doors give a usable everyday opening through the main leaf, with the smaller leaf opened for beds, trolleys or deliveries. They are common in care homes, hospitals and schools. The smaller leaf may be held with flush bolts; any bolts and their positions must be covered by the evidence.
What you get:
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Commissioning of closing sequence
- Closers matched to each leaf
What the rules say for Sandhurst
England's framework applies in Sandhurst. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Sandhurst, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Questions from Sandhurst
Do you cover GU47 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Sandhurst including GU47, and nearby towns such as Crowthorne and Yateley. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Sandhurst?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Why does the gap between the two leaves matter?
The meeting edges are where flame and smoke can pass most easily. The gap and the seals there must match the certification for the pair to perform as tested.
Do both leaves need closers?
Usually, yes. Each leaf of a fire door pair needs to close itself. The closers are sized to each leaf's width and weight.
