Double fire doors: our service in Beverley
From the HU17 postcode district outwards, we take on double fire doors across Beverley for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Around Beverley, small offices, small blocks of flats and care homes all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Every pair we fit in Beverley is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Beverley care homes and schools that need occasional wide access.
Hold-opens and escape
Pairs on corridors are often held open in daily use, with hold-open devices releasing both leaves when the alarm sounds. Where a pair is on an escape route used by the public, the escape hardware and the direction of opening also need to suit the fire strategy.
Each installation includes:
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Closers matched to each leaf
Which fire door rules apply in Beverley?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Beverley 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 Beverley 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.
Which buildings in Beverley need double fire doors?
Typical settings for double fire doors include schools, care homes and hospitals and clinics. In Beverley, 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 Beverley
Is Beverley within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Beverley in East Riding of Yorkshire and neighbouring towns such as Kingston upon Hull. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
