Double fire doors in Hereford

Double fire doors for Hereford buildings

Our double fire doors service covers Hereford and the wider Herefordshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

Around Hereford, HMOs, low-rise blocks of flats and family homes after loft conversions 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 Hereford is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Hereford care homes and schools that need occasional wide access.

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:

• 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 Hereford?

England's framework applies in Hereford. 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 Hereford, 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.
