Double fire doors in Peterborough

Double fire doors: our service in Peterborough

Looking for double fire doors in Peterborough? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Peterborough and the wider Cambridgeshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Fire doors in Peterborough protect escape routes in schools, GP surgeries and care homes 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 Peterborough take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Every pair we fit in Peterborough 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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Commissioning of closing sequence
• Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
• Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
• Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence

What the rules say for Peterborough

Fire doors in Peterborough 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.
