Double fire doors for Stockport buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Stockport, we offer double fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Stockport range from care homes to industrial units and GP surgeries. 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 Stockport is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Stockport 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
- Commissioning of closing sequence
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
Which fire door rules apply in Stockport?
England's framework applies in Stockport. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Stockport, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
Which buildings in Stockport need double fire doors?
You are most likely to need double fire doors if you look after hospitals and clinics, communal corridors or care homes. Whatever the building in Stockport, we survey each opening and tell you which doors need work and which do not.

Questions from Stockport
Do you cover SK1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Stockport including SK1, and nearby towns such as Hazel Grove and Cheadle Hulme. The survey and written quote are free.
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.
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.
