Double fire doors in Bushey

Double fire doors in Bushey: what's involved

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

Fire doors in Bushey protect escape routes in care homes, small blocks of flats and small offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

Every pair we fit in Bushey is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Bushey 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:

• Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
• Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
• Closers matched to each leaf
• Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets

The regulations behind fire doors in Bushey

The rules that apply to fire doors in Bushey 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 Bushey 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.

Who needs double fire doors in Bushey?

From hospitals and clinics to communal corridors, the requirement for double fire doors in Bushey comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.
