What double fire doors in Yate should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Yate, we offer double fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Around Yate, family homes after loft conversions, light industrial buildings and small offices 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.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Yate take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Every pair we fit in Yate is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch.
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:
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Commissioning of closing sequence
The regulations behind fire doors in Yate
In Yate, 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 Yate 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.

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