Double fire doors across Buckinghamshire

Getting double fire doors right in Buckinghamshire

We provide double fire doors across Buckinghamshire, covering 8 towns and 43 postcode districts, including Milton Keynes, High Wycombe and Aylesbury.

Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Buckinghamshire take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Every pair we fit in Buckinghamshire is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch.

Fire door work in Buckinghamshire spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.

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.

Fire door law for Buckinghamshire properties

In Buckinghamshire, 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 Buckinghamshire 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.
