Double fire doors in Kingston upon Hull, done to the evidence
We provide double fire doors in Kingston upon Hull (HU1 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Buildings in and around Kingston upon Hull range from schools to student accommodation and restaurants. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Every pair we fit in Kingston upon Hull is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Kingston upon Hull 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
Which fire door rules apply in Kingston upon Hull?
In Kingston upon Hull, 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 Kingston upon Hull 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.

Common questions
Is Kingston upon Hull within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Kingston upon Hull in East Riding of Yorkshire and neighbouring towns such as Beverley. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Kingston upon Hull building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
