Double fire doors: our service in Newquay
From the TR7 postcode district outwards, we take on double fire doors across Newquay for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Newquay protect escape routes in small offices, light industrial buildings and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Newquay care homes and schools that need occasional wide access. Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Newquay take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention.
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:
- Commissioning of closing sequence
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Closers matched to each leaf
The regulations behind fire doors in Newquay
The rules that apply to fire doors in Newquay are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Newquay block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
Buildings and duty holders in Newquay
Typical settings for double fire doors include care homes, communal corridors and hospitals and clinics. In Newquay, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Questions from Newquay
Is Newquay within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Newquay in Cornwall and neighbouring towns such as Truro. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Newquay?
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.
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.
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.
