Double fire doors for High Wycombe buildings
If you need double fire doors in High Wycombe, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in High Wycombe protect escape routes in care homes, offices and industrial units alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in High Wycombe take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Every pair we fit in High Wycombe is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Commissioning of closing sequence
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
Fire door law for High Wycombe properties
England's framework applies in High Wycombe. 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 High Wycombe, 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.
Which buildings in High Wycombe need double fire doors?

Common questions
Do you work in High Wycombe?
Yes, we take on double fire doors in High Wycombe and the surrounding area, including Amersham and Maidenhead. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in High Wycombe?
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.
What does a door coordinator do?
It holds the leaf that must close second until the first leaf has shut, so rebated meeting edges close in the right order and both leaves latch. Without it, the pair can end up open or misaligned.
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.
